More than 180 Breweries to Pour at Collaboration Fest on April 19
The most creative and collaborative craft beer festival will showcase more than 130 beer collaborations
DENVER, CO (Feb. 24, 2025) - The Colorado Brewers Guild (CBG) proudly announces a record-breaking 180+ participating craft breweries, which include 31 out-of-state craft breweries and one brewery from Mexico, that will pour at Collaboration Fest on Saturday, April 19, 2025 from 2 to 6 p.m. at The Westin Westminster (10600 Westminster Blvd, Westminster, CO 80020). Presented by On Tap Credit Union, Collaboration Fest is the original collaboration craft beer festival Colorado Brewers Guild member breweries team up with independent craft breweries near and far to make interesting beer collaborations.
This year the festival features more than 130 collaboration beers. The CBG fundraiser started in 2014 and celebrates creativity and collaborative culture of the Centennial state’s unique craft beer scene. At Collaboration Fest, brewers let their imagination run wild, brewing everything from classic beer styles, like a Pilsner or Munich Dunkel, to unconventional brews, like a smoked pulled pork stout and a cream ale that mimics Horchata. These beers are brewed specifically for the festival and often not available anywhere else.
“Collaboration Fest has grown to become one of the top beer festivals in the nation and it is received so well because it is by and large a brewers’ beer festival,” says CBG Communications Manager Carrie Knose Wilson. “The festival can often be a launching pad that sparks a friendship between collaborating breweries or a way for two breweries to pair their respective strengths. Regardless of why breweries team up, the imaginative talent that is shown at Collaboration Fest has no bounds!”
Collaboration Fest tickets may be purchased online. Early entry tickets cost $99.67 (includes fees), general admission tickets cost $77.75 (includes fees), and designated driver tickets cost $44.87 (includes fees).
