Collaboration Beer Fest 2025
The Westin Westminster, Westminster, CO
Collaboration Fest is Back on April 19th!
This annual festival is a favorite amongst brewers in Colorado. Join the party and experience all that is Collab Fest: community, camaraderie, creativity, and craft beer! Last year featured over 170 breweries and 140+ unique beers made just for the fest-- a true beer lover's dream.
What makes Collab Fest different is that every beer featured at the fest is designed and brewed specifically for Collab Fest. Each original beer is collaboratively brewed by two or more breweries and is likely inspired by a fun nod to a forgotten style, an inside joke around the brewery, a showcase in hops, or another fun connection made through friends brewing with friends in the industry!
T-Shirts
Be sure to pre-order the limited edition Collab Fest T! New this year are women's v-neck and baseball t-shirts available for pre-order only. Limited quantities of men's/unisex Collab Fest t-shirts will be available for purchase at the festival. Pre-ordered t-shirts can be picked up at the festival at the Colorado Brewers Guild merchandise tent near the festival entrance.
The Colorado Brewers Guild's 2025 Collaboration Fest is presented by On Tap Credit Union.
