| Brewery #1 | Additional Breweries | Variations | Beer Name | Beer Style | Room | Booth # | Category | ABV | Behind The Scenes Story on the Collab! |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| River North* | Third Eye (OH) | 1 | Barrel Aged Celestial Death | Barrel Aged Chocolate Black Barleywine | Westminster | 6 | Dark | 13.5 | A year in the making, brewed long before Third Eye and River North both earned GABF Brewery of the Year accolades, Celestial Death was created as a collab among friends in early 2025 to celebrate chocolate decadence and a mutual love of barleywines. Aged 12 months in bourbon barrels and ready just in time for Collab Fest! |
| Westbound & Down | Novel Strand | 1 | Western Greenery | Unfiltered hoppy beer | Westminster | 15 | Hops | 6.2 | A collaboration from 2 of Colorado's most hop obsessed breweries, featuring American and NZ hops for maximum flavor and aroma! |
| Cohesion | Novel Strand | 1 | FAMILY TREE | Pale Lager | Westminster | 16 | Hops, Light | 4.7 | Novel Strand and Cohesion have collaborated for most of the collab fests and this was a continuation of that trend. We decided to use a lager strain that was new to both of us and add some hops that all share a family tree. Saaz, Riwaka, and NZH-106 blend old world and new world hops together in a pale lager package. |
| Primitive Beer | Voodoo (PA) | 1 | Confident Misinformation | Lambic-inspired Spontaneous Beer | Westminster | 20 | Sour | 9.5 | Our friends at Voodoo Brewing in Meadville, Pennsylvania have welcomed us to Good Vibes Festival for the last few years. Known in the industry as "Brewers Summer Camp," we really got into the spirit by bringing Bag-in-Box SponSponBingBong to slap the bag in the creek post-festival! This inevitable friendship collaboration is a carefully selected 4-year blend that was finished in both ruby port barrels and Family Jones rye whiskey barrels. It was inspired by the New York Sour cocktail that both parties enjoy. |
| Crooked Stave | Primitive Beer | 2 | Naming Beers is HARD / Blending Beers is FUN | Spontaneous Golden Sour Ale / Spontaneous Golden Sour Ale (dry hopped) | Westminster | 21 | Sour | 6.5 | You know what they say — sour beer is where the margins are. Primitive Beer believed it. Crooked Stave invested heavily in it. Between extended barrel aging, evaporative loss, fruit costs, lab work, and tying up capital for 18–36 months…we figured if we collaborated, we could really optimize our negative ROI. Luckily, the beer tastes phenomenal — which is priceless. 50% Primitive Spon with 50% Crooked Stave Spon blended with Honey and Dry-hopped with Nelson! |
| New Image* | Casey* | 1 | Fresh Eyes | NZ Hop West Coast IPA | Westminster | 41 | Hops | 6.5 | Thinking about some of the best WC IPAs we’ve produced in 2025, flowable cold side extracts have been a common theme amongst the bangers. Recently, Freestyle Farms Research Collective announced “Cold Pressed Hop Juice” a flowable, cold side extract using a freshly harvested hops from their farm in Nelson. So it’s their Hop Kief process, but with fresh hops. Really this is the first time we’ve ever had the ability to produce anything remotely “fresh hop” with NZ products and we couldn’t be more excited about it. |
| New Image* | Cellarmaker (CA)* | 1 | Geographically Misleading | Bay Area Style IPA | Westminster | 42 | Hops | 6.7 | We do a lot of things similarly already with WC IPA, we use a ton of Cryo, a lean malt bill and hops that are stone fruit and cannabis forward, but Cellarmaker has a couple tricks that we’re excited to play with. The first is water and the second is yeast. They keep things cold and slow with the goal of retaining the maximum amount of hop flavor and aroma while adding minimal yeast derived flavor. |
| Cerebral* | American Solera (OK) | 1 | Altered Perception | West Coast IPA | Westminster | 48 | Hops | 7 | Altered Perception is our annual 4/20 beer! This year we partnered with our friends at American Solera and chose to lean into some of our favorite hops (Krush, Nectaron, Mosaic and Nectaron Cryo) while incorporating some incredible new terpenes (Gelato and Pineapple Express) to make this one of our dankest West Coast IPAs to date. |
| Cerebral* | Milieu* | 1 | Dope Trait | Hop Saturated Ale | Westminster | 49 | Hops | 8 | We partnered with our Aurora neighbors to create an intensely saturated take on a Hazy Double IPA. Dope Trait is built on a bed of low color pilsner, wheat and oats and paired with some super oily hops - Motueka, Strata Cryo, and Citra 805. |
| Ska* | Hopsteiner | 1 | HopQuench | NA Sparkling Hop Water with LLZ and TETRA Iso-Extract | Westminster - Wall | 71 | Hops | NA | A non-alcoholic Hop Water collaboration for all of the amazing designated drivers supporting the fest! |
| Vail | Oskar Blues* | 1 | Monkeys and Typewriters | Juicy IPA | Legacy | 91 | Hops | 6.6 | Brewer's Juice Drapeau (Oskar Blue's) and Garrett Scahill (Vail Brewing Co.) are both from Maine and met years ago at CBG Salida Beer Fest and became friends instantly. They both have a love for hop forward beers and this is now their second collaboration together. This beer is brewed with 100% Colorado grown malt, hand selected hops including newer varieties such as Elani, Tangier, and Krush. |
| Our Mutual Friend | Stodgy | 1 | Bodgy | American Bock | Legacy | 111 | Dark | 4.9 | This beer is inspired by our love of brewing with Colorado ingredients and showing that classic and modern beer styles can be made using local ingredients. Brewed with Troubadour malt, kernza, and Colorado CTZ and Colorado Crystal hops. |
| Odell* Five Points | Comrade | 1 | Convertible Cargo Pants | IPA | Westminster | 1 | Hops | 6 | Comrade makes great IPA's and we have some cool hops. It was time to collab on a recipe and have some fun. |
| Comrade | Zuni Street | 1 | Deadline Tomorrow | West Coast IPA | Westminster | 2 | Hops | 6.3 | We’ve been long time friends with Zuni street but have never made a beer together. We decided it was time. |
| Los Dos Potrillos | Zuni Street | 1 | San Luis Schwarz | Rye Schwarzbier | Westminster | 3 | Dark | 4.8 | Through the power of friendship and stellar vibes LDP Beer & Zuni Street partnered with Rye Resurgence out of the San Luis Valley to showcase their Elbon Rye. |
| River North* | Los Dos Potrillos | 1 | Step Father Figure | West Coast Mexican Lager | Westminster | 4 | Light, Hops | 6 | The brewers at Los Dos Potrillos and River North have been friends for many years. What better reason to collaborate than as an excuse to drink and brew beer with old friends? That's what collaboration is all about, right? |
| Colorado Beer Media | River North, Strange | 3 | Above the Fold | Strong Barrel Aged Cherry Porter | Westminster | 5 | Dark, Weird | 8.5 | Above the Fold - the term invokes the eye-catching headline or photo that draws you in to the page, inviting you to learn more. This beer is designed to draw you in with the 'folded' flavors of River North's barrel-aged porter and Strange Craft's classic Kriek, melded into a feature we know you'll enjoy! |
| Strange | Breckenridge (Littleton)* | 1 | Mon-Cheri Stout | Stout with Cherries and Chocolate | Westminster | 7 | Dark, Weird | 8.2 | Strange could not have opened in May 2010 without the help and support of Breckenridge Brewery at the 471 Kalamath location. The tasting room was our office while we looked for property. And once we found our spot, they were incredibly generous with supplying hops, malt, kegs - you name it. The original good guys of Colorado Craft Beer. |
| Broken Compass | Strange | 2 | Magnetic Anomaly / 11 Years Later-Barrel Aged | West Coast IPA | Westminster | 8 | Hops | 6 | After 11 years of being great friends in Colorado’s brewing scene, Tim and Ford finally decided to bring Strange Craft and Broken Compass together for a collaboration! Great people coming together to do great things for one of Colorado’s best beer festivals! |
| Broken Compass | Breckenridge Brewery & Pub* | 1 | Heated Rivalry | West Coast IPA | Westminster | 9 | Hops | 5.9 | Being the only two breweries in Breck, many folks think we're competitors. But the exact opposite is the case. Always hanging out at each others breweries it just made sense to team up and make a beer with all Colorado ingredients from The State of Craft Beer. Billy Goat hops, Root Shoot malts and Inland Island yeast make this the perfect Colorado IPA. We brewed a beer that we want to drink - a crisp, low ABV IPA. |
| Danico | Breckenridge Brewery & Pub* | 2 | Never Winter | Saison | Westminster | 10 | Light | 5.5 | Breck & Danico have a history dating back years before Danico opened. Danico's brewer Alan used to live and brew up in Summit County and Danico's owner Nikki used to work at Breckenridge and occasionally brew with the team there! We were thrilled to be able to come together on the "Never Winter" strawberry-basil saison to recognize the ridiculous weather we've had this year. Bright summery flavors for an easy drinking patio beer seemed just the thing to represent the type of "winter" we've had this year. |
| Bent Barley | Danico | 2 | Bock of Ages / Chile Goat | Bock / Chile Bock | Westminster | 11 | Dark, Weird | 6.2 | Danico and Bent Barley share a love of classic German lager styles so we made a lovely, complex dark lager using all German malts and hops. Smoked Pueblo green chiles and serranos add a spicy twist to this classic style. |
| Bent Barley | Joyride | 1 | Kölsch Companions | American-Style Kölsch | Westminster | 12 | Light | 5.6 | About time we did a collab! Joyride and Bent Barley are both known for their flagship Kölschs. We made this beer with Root Shoot malt, flaked rice, and HBC 1134 American noble hops for a modern American twist on a classic style. |
| Joyride | Westbound & Down | 1 | Eternal Return | New Zealand Pils | Westminster | 13 | Light, Hops | 5 | Joyride and Westbound & Down are at it again, teaming up for their 5th consecutive Collab Fest and 13th collaboration total! As usual, we made something hop forward, this time featuring Nelson cryo and Nectaron on top of a light pilsner base. This is an annual tradition for us, and we love making delicious hop forward beer for you to enjoy. |
| Westbound & Down | North Park (CA) | 1 | Spirit of the Fu! | New Zealand IPA | Westminster | 14 | Hops | 7.4 | Both breweries have won multiple awards in the NZ IPA category over the years, Westbound for Spirit of the West and North Park for NZ Fu!. After congratulating each other for award wins year after year, we decided to create Spirit of the Fu!, our mash up of our award-winning NZ IPAs. |
| Cohesion | Good Word (GA) | 1 | Paleček | Dry Hopped Czech Pale Lager | Westminster | 17 | Light, Hops | 4.9 | We blended our love of German and Czech lagers by using some ingredients from both countries. This beer is dry hopped lightly for a bright and refreshing finish. |
| Odd13* | Cohesion, Primitive | 1 | Semicolon > Em Dash | Belgian Ale | Westminster | 18 | Light | 4.5 | Luge!!!!!!! |
| Odd13* | The Post* | 1 | Gatúbela | Foeder Aged Dark Lager | Westminster | 19 | Dark | 5 | This is a Modelo Negra inspired dark lager, made with blue corn, and foeder aged. We're neighbors making beer for our neighbors. |
| Cheluna | Degree Brewpub (MSU) | 1 | Teacher's Lounge | Cold IPA | Westminster | 22 | Hops | 7 | Teacher’s Lounge is a collaboration brew between the Metropolitan State University of Denver Brewery Operations program and Cheluna Brewing, brought to life by a student in the program who also brews at Cheluna. Modeled after a crisp Cold IPA, this beer draws inspiration from the timeless gin and tonic cocktail. Bright juniper berries, delicate elderflower, and a splash of hibiscus. The result is a brew that’s business in the front, party in the back. |
| Cheluna | Second Dawn* | 1 | Verde Veritas | Fruited Lager | Westminster | 23 | Light, Weird | 5.1 | Inspired by our neighborhood’s vibrant history and culture, as well as our respective house Mexican lagers, we kicked it up with tangy tomatillo, a jalapeño kick, and just a touch of salt. The result is refreshing, zesty, and unmistakably rooted in our shared community. |
| Odyssey* | Second Dawn* | 1 | Painkiller IPA | IPA based on the Painkiller Cocktail | Westminster | 24 | Hops, Weird | 7.5 | Turns out that the folks at Second Dawn and Odyssey have known each other for well over a decade and both have made more than a few flavor-infused beers. We put those big brains together and came up with this delightful idea - a juicy IPA with pineapple, orange, and coconut, based on the classic cocktail. What could possibly go wrong? |
| Odyssey* | Empourium*, Rails End | 1 | Pony Club | Blonde Ale with Butterfly Pea Flower Tea | Westminster | 25 | Light, Weird | 5.5 | It just so happens that Empourium makes award-winning tea infused beers, and we at Odyssey have also made quite a few. This is a new frontier for both of us, using Butterfly Pea Flower tea to make a beer worthy of a pink pony club dance party. Dance. Dance. Dance! |
| Something* | Empourium* | 1 | Pulp Project | Hazy IPA | Westminster | 26 | Hops | 7.5 | We set out to make an orange juice style hazy IPA. Basically juice on top of juice! Brewed with the new Dolcita hop, this hazy bursts with notes of fresh orange, mango, and peach rings, giving it a vibrant citrusy pop. We also used Dry Tropics yeast from Berkeley, which layers in even more tropical character and keeps everything juicy and expressive. We’re really excited about this beer and had a great time brewing it—trading ideas, comparing techniques, and seeing how each brewery approaches the process. |
| Something* | Square State (WY) | 1 | Joey from Blossom | Jasmine Rice Lager with Cherry Blossom & Honey | Westminster | 27 | Light, Weird | 5.5 | We both have wanted to do a rice lager for so long and has been in our books forever. We tried to use a delicacy of cherry blossom and honey to go along with the elegance of lager to make a clean, crisp, delicious refreshing beer. |
| Mash Mechanix | Peaks N Pines | 1 | American Hop Revolution | IPA | Westminster - End cap | 28 | Hops | 5.6 | American Hop Revolution IPA is a tribute to the dual anniversary of America's 250th and Colorado's 150th termed "sesquisemiquincentennial"! We brewed this once in a lifetime beer using locally grown red wheat, white barley, and blue corn. We used Colorado grown hops and yeast to round out this all American, all Colorado beer. This beer was proudly made by brewers hailing from every corner of the country. From Alaska, Massachusetts, Texas, Arizona, Colorado, we collaborated under the shadow of America’s Mountain to honor the Centennial State. |
| Phantom Canyon | Mash Mechanix, Gunslinger, Urban Animal | 1 | Smokey and the Bandit | Smoked Bock | Westminster - End cap | 29 | Dark, Weird | 6 | Fueled by a shared passion for beer and a suspiciously high tolerance for each other’s company! This liquid celebration of downtown Colorado Springs camaraderie features a bold blend of toasted bread, caramel, and rich beechwood smoke that hits smoother than a Trans Am. We’ve channeled our collective grit and friendship into a single fermenter to prove that the best way to enjoy downtown COS is with a pint in hand and a few good neighbors by your side. |
| Fossil | Phantom Canyon | 1 | Continental Drift | New Zealand Pilsner | Westminster - End cap | 30 | Light, Hops | 5.6 | An experimental crispy pilsner brewed with innovative new hop products and traditional New Zealand hops. |
| Fossil | Paramount | 1 | Hola Bock | Mexican Maibock | Westminster - End cap | 31 | Light | 6.6 | A traditional Maibock brewed with Mexican Lager influence, a Cinco de Maibock you could say. |
| Peculier* | Rally King | 1 | Grand Daddy Pulp | DDH Hazy IPA | Westminster | 32 | Hops, Weird | 8.5 | We are making a citrus forward IPA base and then infusing it with freshly ground Tahitian vanilla and freshly zested oranges to create an orange creamsicle IPA. |
| Tres Litros | Angry James | 1 | Spotted Richard Stout | Pastry Stout | Westminster | 33 | Dark, Weird | 6.5 | Tres Litros wanted to collaborate with Angry James based on prior friendships and respect for their beer quality and taproom experience. We have decided to make a pastry stout based on the flavor profile of the British dessert, Spotted Dick Pudding. We used dried currants, orange zest, vanilla beans and lactose. |
| Steamworks* | Anarchy | 1 | Vendredi 13 | Dark Strong Belgian with spices | Westminster | 34 | Dark | 10 | Brewed on Friday the 13th it pays homage to one of our all time favorite beers Trois Pistoles from the French Canadian brewery Unibroue |
| Rock Cut | Left Hand* | 2 | E.T. Fonio Home / The Empire Strikes Bitter | African Pale Ale / ESB with Orange Peel | Westminster | 35 | Hops, Weird | 6 / 5.3 | We were both interested in using the African heritage grain; Fonio, and wanted to highlight other ingredients from Africa by using African Queen hops. This beer is so good, you'll want to phone home about it! / A short time ago, in a brewery kinda close by, several brewers got together and discussed putting a gentle twist on a classic: adding orange peel to an Extra Special Bitter. |
| Resolute | Reverence | 1 | Spud-Zero | Cold Hazy Potato IPA | Westminster | 36 | Hops, Weird | 7.5 | Hazy IPA brewed with flaked potatoes and fermented with lager yeast. Nate and Kyle worked together at Avery and have been planning to collab for a long time.Cold Hazy IPA is here, and potatoes make a great adjunct. |
| LUKI | Stay Tuned | 1 | Midnight Munchies | Baja Blast Wheat Beer | Westminster | 37 | Light | 5.4 | This beer is designed to mimic the flavors of Baja Blast using tangerine, mango and pineapple flavors along with lime-candy aromas. |
| Knotted Root* | Narrow Gauge (MO) | 1 | Whispering Sin DIPA | New England Double IPA | Westminster | 38 | Hops | 8.2 | Knotted Root flew to St. Louis in the spring of 2020 to make this beer at Narrow Gauge's original location. Now, 6 years later, we are bringing it back. It's a juicy Unfiltered DIPA that combines our unique brewing characteristics. |
| Highside | Animas | 1 | Stay Grassy Colorado | Belgian Wit with Lemongrass & Bravo Hops | Westminster | 39 | Light | 5.5 | A couple of old codgers and friends for many years brewing a collab again! We decided on an easy drinking wit with lemongrass, coriander, and a little citrus hop kick! We want this beer to be a hit for us and our taprooms without the hype of something ridiculous or stupid.... or we wouldn't be old and cranky! |
| Cellar West | Fritz Family | 1 | Powder Cow | Saison with Lemon Peel | Westminster | 40 | Light | 6.4 | Cory (from Fritz) and myself (Zach from cellar west) are both from Wisconsin and enjoy hanging out at each others breweries. We both brew a lot of European styles so a Saison seemed right, and we used some of Cory’s favorite German Vienna malt along with our Saison yeast. We went with some lovely, French-grown Aramis hops (first for both of us), and Cory wanted a light citrus edge so we spun some lemon peel in the whirlpool. |
| Locavore* | Soulcraft* | 1 | Take Off, eh! | North American Belgian-inspired Tripel on cherries | Westminster | 43 | Light | 9.4 | Canadian Belgian yeast, Canadian hops, Canadian/American grain, Montmorency Cherry. Kyle, brewer at Soulcraft was Locavore's first brewer. This collab was long overdue. |
| Fiction Beer | Wild Sky | 1 | Not Made for Defest | Saison Farmhouse Table Beer | Westminster | 44 | Light | 4.4 | Our histories aligned in the moment with many obstacles in the recent past, from a brewery closing, being bought, and reopening to another closing a location, and eventually closing altogether. But we will continue to prevail, whether through others in the industry, or through our own accomplishments. This beer is for those who never give up as a man can be destroyed, but never defeated! |
| Fiction Beer | Whistle Pig | 1 | Peach Size Dreams | SMaSH Brut IPA | Westminster | 45 | Hops | 6.3 | Our breweries met at Colorado Brewer's Summit and both expressed concern for the 'little guys' out there trying to make it by in this chaos of a brewing world. This beer is inspired by just that, we might be small, but we all have large, 'peach' size dreams. The beer will be utilizing a Single Malt and Single Hop of Dolcita, to provide peach aromas and flavors. We are also adding 10 pounds of peach rings to up those notes! |
| 4 Noses* | Milieu* | 1 | Macrosoft Pint | NZ Hopped West Coast IPA | Westminster | 46 | Hops | 6.6 | Made with Colorado Troubadour Yacht Rock as base malt, and German specialty malts. Hopped with New Zealand Cascade, Peacharine, and Nelson. |
| 4 Noses* | Telluride* | 1 | Soft Deadline | Cold IPA | Westminster | 47 | Hops | 6.9 | Made with YCH Cryo Fresh Hops. |
| Milieu* | Lady Justice* | 1 | American Ninja Keyboard Warrior | Double Hazy IPA | Westminster | 50 | Hops | 8.5 | We're excited to collaborate on Lady Justice's first Double Hazy IPA going on their menu! It features a new hop product Nelson and Waimea "Cold Pressed Hop Juice". |
| Lady Justice* | Chain Reaction | 1 | Dozens of Dollars | Black IPA | Westminster | 51 | Dark, Hops | 6 | Have you ever gotten a little tipsy at your favorite brewery, run into your neighbor and say, "Let's hang out sometime!" This is a collab about follow through. |
| Coal Mine Ave | Wild Sky, Chain Reaction | 1 | Uncommon Link | Pale Ale with Honey, Lemon, & Rosemary | Westminster | 52 | Hops, Weird | 5.2 | 3 brewers who's destiny has been thoroughly intertwined with the anchor being Chain Reaction. We are a perfect example of how close knit this industry is. This is bittersweet because we have so much fun with these collabs, but we are going to miss Wild Sky. It would take at least 3 pages to share how intertwined our journey has been. |
| Coal Mine Ave | Zymos, Lariat Lodge, Comet, Littleton, Breckenridge*, Locavore* | 1 | LittleFUN II | Tequila Sunrise inspired Mexican Lager | Westminster | 53 | Light | 5.2 | Littleton isn't really thought of as a city for craft beer. We want people to know that we're here and we're doing great things! |
| Crystal Springs* | Zymos | 1 | Buzzword | Thiolized Citra-Boosted West Coast Pilsner | Westminster | 54 | Hops, Light | 6 | This West Coast Pilsner puts the spotlight on the forever‑loved Citra hop. We packed it with every variation we could get our hands on—T90, Cryo, Dynaboost, Hyperboost, and even Cryo‑Fresh. And because we couldn’t resist going full nerd, we finished it off with a thiolizing yeast strain to crank up the aroma. All the buzzwords, all in one beer. |
| Crystal Springs* | Grimm Brothers* | 1 | Dort Lager | Dortmunder Export | Westminster | 55 | Light | 6.5 | Dortmunder lagers don’t always get the love they deserve here in Colorado, so we decided to take a crack at one ourselves. Think of it as a pilsner on roids—crisp, balanced, and just a little amped up. Grimm and Crystal bonded over a shared love of German beers (and a shared distributor), so this collab felt meant to be. |
| Black Tooth (WY) | Grimm Brothers* | 1 | Winds of Change | West Coast Pilsner | Westminster | 56 | Hops, Light | 5.8 | We used all Colorado grown malt (Root Shoot) to lay down a crisp base for a significant dry hop charge consisting of NZ Superdelic and NZ Riwaka. We believe big flavor does not need to equate to high ABV or adjunct ingredients. This beer showcases big aroma and flavor while also leaning into a traditional, sessional style. |
| Glenwood Canyon | Black Tooth (WY) | 1 | Western Export | Pre-Prohibition Lager | Westminster - End cap | 57 | Light | 5.3 | Brewed in collaboration between Glenwood Canyon and Black Tooth (WY), this Pre-Prohibition style lager honors the brewing traditions that helped shape the American West. Colorado ingredients lead the way, with Root Shoot malted barley and corn and Billy Goat Crystal hops; lending a clean grain character and bright herbal snap. A nod to the past, brewed with the spirit of Colorado today. |
| Cannonball Creek | Glenwood Canyon | 1 | Italian Pils | Italian Pils | Westminster - End cap | 58 | Hops, Light | 5.1 | Mutual respect between two breweries with a passion for pale hoppy lager. Malt: Pilsner and chit. Hops: Saphir Abstrax Quantum Saaz. |
| Cannonball Creek | ISM Beer (CA) | 2 | Morally Dankrupt | WCIPA | Westminster - End cap | 59 | Hops | 6.5 | A Collaboration built on mutual respect between two WCIPA breweries. Reflecting the similar style of both breweries, this IPA is massively aromatic and highly drinkable. |
| Westbound & Down | River North*, Cannonball Creek | 1 | Rocky Mountain Advantage | West Coast IPA | Westminster - End cap | 60 | Hops | 6.8 | Brewed in celebration of all three Colorado breweries receiving Brewery of the Year awards at the 2025 Great American Beer Festival, we present to you a West Coast IPA that is the official Welcome Beer of 2026 Collaboration Fest! All attendees will be handed a glass of the Welcome Beer upon entry to the Festival! Hops include Simcoe Hyperboost, Simcoe T90, Mosaic T90, Mosaic cryo, and Krush cryo. |
| Alley Brews | Monolith | 1 | Roggen Roll Dude! | Roggenbier | Westminster - Wall | 61 | Dark | 5.2 | Fourth collab together, but this time we went old school with a Roggenbier, a classic German rye beer. The rye brings this hearty, pumpernickel-like breadiness, and the hefeweizen yeast adds those classic banana and clove notes. Hopefully it gives people an excuse to try something a little older, a little different, and not often found on tap! |
| A Bit Twisted | Monolith | 1 | Lord of the Links | Stout | Westminster - Wall | 62 | Dark | 7 | Round three our smoked food beer series! This time, we're blending smoked grains with our own house-smoked sausage and jalapeños for one beautiful concoction. |
| A Bit Twisted | The Elizabeth | 1 | Pineapple & Anchovies Belong on Pizza | Hazy Pale Ale | Westminster - Wall | 63 | Hops, Weird | 6.5 | Hazy Pale Ale brewed with Pineapple Puree, all anchovy hops and pizza seasonings. |
| The Elizabeth | Scott Free (NE) | 1 | The mullets currant affair | Mulberry Black Currant Nut Brown | Westminster - Wall | 64 | Dark, Weird | 5.8 | Scott Free Brewing is in Gering, Nebraska. The brewers from both places have been friends for a couple years, and try to collab when possible in order to share beer with old friends and new people alike. |
| Storm Peak* | Hideaway Park, Ska, Elevation*, Stillwest (WY), Mother Earth (CA)*, Citizen 33 (ID), Roadhouse (WY)*, Melvin (WY)*, Root Shoot Malt | 1 | Golden Boot | West Coast IPA | Westminster - Wall | 65 | Hops | 6.5 | A rigorous competition between ski town breweries in a quest for the golden boot |
| Windfall | Melvin (WY)* | 1 | Dreamin' on the Plains | Cream Ale | Westminster - Wall | 66 | Light | 5.5 | Prairie Malt got us together as he was excited for Windfall and Melvin to work together. We decided on a cream ale because Root Shoot Malting recently came out with some malted blue corn that we both wanted to try. |
| Westminster | Roadhouse (WY)* | 1 | Chill Fusion | West Cost Pale | Westminster - Wall | 67 | Hops | 5.6 | New friends, making some new beer. Individual moments, experiences, choices, and ingredients all came together to create a truly unique beer. Out of State collab with Roadhouse Brewing up in Jackson Hole, WY. Featuring a new hop selection of Mosaic Cyro Fresh and other dank west coast hops. We took a road trip up to Jackson to brew at their brewpub in the middle of Jackson Town Square. |
| Westminster | Windfall | 1 | I am Ry-nough | Hoppy Red Ale | Westminster - Wall | 68 | Dark | 5.5 | Two dudes named Ryan, from two Westminster breweries, and possibly Ryan Gosling body doubles; decided to make something cool. Inspired by the reddish hues flowing through their beards they began a journey. Seeking to combine sweet amber malts with the tropical hops of New Zealand in hopes of creating something truly delicious and crushable. |
| Black Shirt | Westminster | 1 | Don't Tease Me, Bro | Tea Pale Ale | Westminster - Wall | 69 | Hops, Weird | 6.4 | Get ready for an American Pale ale brewed with Alora and Citra hops with a health dose of The Tea Spot Sencha and Boulder Blues tea in the mix. Green tea, peach, strawberry, and rhubarb aromas in a modern American Pale Ale. |
| Black Shirt | Barrels & Bottles | 1 | Unskinny Hop Sour Hazy | Sour Hazy IPA | 70 | Hops, Weird, Sour | 5.7 | Once upon a time there were a group of brewers at Craft Brewers Conference and managed to hang out not just for sessions but for ghost tours and cocktail lounges. Unskinny Sour beers have lost their edge in the beer market, but hazy IPAs are still going strong, so why not combine the two? Select varieties of hops and the latest hop products makes this kettle sour the one to reach for at Collab Fest! | |
| Ska* | Hopsteiner | 2 | West Coast Pils / LLZ Mexican Logger | West Coast Pils / Lemon Lime Zest Mexican Logger | Westminster - Wall | 72 | Light, Hops | 6 / 5 | Ska and Hopsteiner have been partners for years and it just made sense. |
| Lone Tree* | Eddyline* | 1 | King Ghidorah | Black Rice Lager | Legacy - Wall | 76 | Dark | 4.7 | The use of black rice makes this beer unique. Our friend at Proximity Malt had this idea of a black rice lager he had been pitching for a while. |
| Lone Tree* | Seedstock | 1 | Outback Bramble | Australian Sparkling Ale | Legacy - Wall | 77 | Light | 5.8 | This is a unique beer style, with the additions of blackberry, pineapple, and lemon peel. Finishing at 0 plato, this is very dry. |
| New Terrain* | Seedstock | 1 | Scandalous Whip | Watergate Salad Dessert Sour | Legacy - Wall | 78 | Sour, Weird | 6.1 | Fruit fluff was a party staple in the Midwest when we were kids and we thought why not brew a sour with Seedstock to do something unique! The combo of pistachio, pineapple, and cream is unique and surprisingly delicious. Named Watergate Salad because it became popular during the Nixon administration, this will surely be an eye catcher at the festival. |
| Wibby* | New Terrain* | 1 | Dark Czech Lager | Dark Czech Lager | Legacy - Wall | 79 | Dark | 5.5 | This is the first dark czech lager every brewed at Wibby Brewing. We combined yeast from New Terrain and german malts that give this lager a wonderful dark hue. Most importantly this was a really fun lager to brew as we had the best crew of two different breweries coming together to share stories and beers together. |
| Wibby* | Goldspot | 1 | A Lager for Bobby | Hoppy Lager | Legacy - Wall | 80 | Light, Hops | 6 | This light lager has a pungent hop aroma from the copious amounts of late edition hops and dry hopping yet it still drinks like a crisp, clean lager. |
| MainStage | Broken Hops* | 1 | Pink Bunny Club | Fruited IPA | Legacy - Wall | 84 | Hops, Weird | 6.7 | Did the world need another IPA? How about another fruit beer? If you answered no, then this beer isn't for you. A fiscally irresponsible amount of Nectaron, Riwaka, and Superdelic hops meet up with passion fruit and dragon fruit. A silly pink beer for the best beer fest. |

You were taking notes on your computer, data driven, I'm sure. Just seemed like our interests align, and thought maybe we should collab together. If you feel the same way, send a sign. |

We created a unique yeast blend with Propagate to increase fruity esters without phenolic flavors and threw in a boatload of fruity hops: Peacherine, Dolcita, Belma, Kohia Nelson Hop Kief, and Rakau Hop Kief. |
| Barquentine | Green Mountain | 1 | Practice what Yuzu Peach | Yuzu-Peach Berliner Weiss | Legacy - Wall | 88 | Sour, Light | 4.4 | Barquentine (known for Belgian inspired beers) teamed up with Green Mountain (rooted in German tradition) because we needed an excuse to share a few pints. We landed on a low ABV, fruited Berliner Weisse that brings both worlds together. Bright yuzu adds a citrus snap, peach softens it with gentle sweetness. |
| Old 121 | Landlocked, Westfax*, Green Mountain | 1 | Pineapple Smokespress | Pineapple, Chipotle Smoked Blonde Ale with Terpenes | Legacy - Wall | 89 | Light, Weird, Hops | 5.2 | Our annual collab with the Lakewood Brewing Collective! This year, breweries of Lakewood got together to bring experimental (Pineapple Express Terpenes) with more traditional (smoked beer, fruit, and peppers) inspiration. We also are working with Lakewood-owned Piggin' Out BBQ to smoke our pineapples and jalapeños to create a spicy, sweet, and smoky concoction. |
| Old 121 | Ratio* | 1 | Toast & Tea | Chai Vienna Lager | Legacy - Wall | 90 | Dark, Weird | 5.9 | A little toast with tea, this is a toasty Vienna Lager that we brewed with Chai tea and fresh ginger. We wanted to bring a fun twist to a traditional lager style and the tea lager was formed! |

| Oskar Blues* | Bootstrap* | 1 | Rock Onward | Hoppy American Citrus Wheat | Legacy | 93 | Light, Hops | 5.6 | We’re hopping up an American Tangerine Wheat featuring a new hop variety called Tangier. With a little help from Amarillo and Citra to create citrus hop flavors and aromas–pairs nicely with tangerine peel powder. |
| Ramblebine | Shelter | 1 | Hop On The Cob | Blue Corn Cold IPA | Legacy | 94 | Hops, Weird | 7 | Western Slope friends, Shelter and Ramblebine, have been looking for a chance to brew together since meeting at a fest a few years ago.

| Ramblebine | Base Camp | 2 | Smoke On The Water / Fire In The Sky | Smoked Helles | Legacy | 95 | Light, Weird | 5.2 | We designed a classic Helles lager and substituted half of the Pilsner malt with smoked Malt.

| Timnath | Liquid Mechanics*, Paramount, Verboten, Fossil, Focus On The Beer, The Beerd Wrangler | 1 | The Council Of Joshes | Episode V: Revenge of the Barleywine | English Barleywine | Legacy | 104.5 | Dark | 11 | When the Council of Joshes assembles, bold ideas (and even bolder beers) are bound to follow. Episode V: The Revenge of the Barleywine is a big, rich English-style Barleywine brewed by industry friends who all share the same name — and the same passion for complex, malt-forward ales. Deep, warming, and full of character, this beer is both a tribute and a playful warning: never underestimate the power of the Joshes. A saga of malt, friendship, and just enough mischief. |
| Mountain Toad | Evergreen | 1 | Boil 'em, Mash 'em, Stick 'em in a Brew | Experimental TTRPG Beer | Legacy | 99 | Weird | 7.5 | We are all huge nerds and we love Dungeons and Dragons and other table-top RPGs. So we decided not to just make a beer but to make a whole "character creation system" that will create the beer for us. We even wrote a whole handbook on how to use this new "Brewing System"! The system created dozens of beers and we chose to make our favorite of the bunch. |
| Mountain Toad | Tobacco Road (NC) | 1 | OBX 14er | Table Beer | Legacy | 100 | Light, Weird | 3.8 | One of Mountain Toad’s brewers moved to North Carolina a few years ago and now brews at Tobacco Road Brewing.

What better to put in a Root Shoot whiskey barrel than a Baltic Porter made with all Root Shoot malts and my former employer's, the Brewing Science Institute, BSI-980 Bavarian Dunkel yeast! |
| Prost* | Zwei, Root Shoot Malting | 1 | Thunder Struck Export Pils | GR Export Pilsner | Legacy | 103 | Light | 5.7 | We wanted to take an opportunity to highlight the new pilsner malt coming off of the Kaspar Schulz malting equipment at Root Shoot Malting (Thunder Pilsner Malt). We selected an Export Pilsner because it felt like a great way to showcase the German processing methods, equipment, and raw materials. The results are a crisp, bright, and elegant Pilsner. |
| Timnath | Zwei | 1 | Pivko | Czech Pilsner | Legacy | 104 | Light | 4.5 | We teamed up with our friends at Zwei Brewing to brew a Czech Pilsner that’s all about smooth vibes and crisp flavor.

| Living the Dream* | Littleton | 1 | Midnight Summit | Schwarzbier | Legacy | 108 | Dark | 5.9 | We'd been talking about collaborating for a while, showing some mutual love and respect for our Littleton community. We were super excited to do a traditional, decocted lager to build incredible body and flavor. We also wanted to highlight some amazing malt from Root Shoot (Loveland). This dark lager has hyper drinkability and a smooth toasted character. |
| Living the Dream* | Westfax* | 1 | Astronaut Juice | West Coast IPA | Legacy | 109 | Hops | 6.8 | We built a west coast style IPA and fermented it with lager yeast, S-34/70. This led to a smooth malt profile to highlight the expressive hops: Tangier, Zumo, Strata, CRYO Columbus, and Simcoe.

| Launch Pad* | Crosby Hops | 1 | B-Side Banger | Hazy IPA | Legacy | 119 | Hops | 6.4 | High above the brewhouse floor at Launch Pad Brewery, the crew set out to build a hazy IPA worthy of a new mission.

The extra time on the bine gave the hops a deeper, juicier profile. |
| Urban Animal | Launch Pad* | 1 | Omaha Beach | French Pilsner | Legacy | 120 | Light | 6.2 | Paul and Jordan wanted to create a super crushable beer with a unique twist. Using French grain and a combination of Barbe Rouge and Elixir hops, we created a "new style" of pilsner. A beer for brewers by brewers from Aurora to Colorado Springs. Cheers! |
| Gilded Goat | Urban Animal | 2 | Spring Stampede | Maibock | Legacy | 121 | Light | 6.9 | Gilded Goat and Urban Animal joined forces to celebrate the changing seasons with Spring Stampede, a Maibock that balances a rich, bready malt profile with a crisp, floral finish perfect for the Colorado thaw.

Collins)* | Verboten (North) | 1 | Sidetrack Shuffle-Honey Rye Lager | Honey Rye Lager | Legacy | 124 | Dark | 4.75 | We wanted to do something that would satisfy our love for easy drinking lager but with a twist. Using some more characterful malts along with malted rye we were able to achieve a balance of easy drinking and flavor forward. The name is a nod to the local dive we used to frequent after busy bartending shifts or crazy brew fests where we may or may not have needed to do the short shuffle home... |
| Verboten (North) | Mythmaker | 1 | Blister in the Sun | Petite Saison | Legacy | 125 | Light | 4.3 | Blister in the Sun is a bright, refreshing Petite Saison featuring Dolcita and Barbe Rouge hops layered with citrus peel, Indian coriander, chamomile, and pink peppercorn. We teamed up for CollabFest to celebrate creativity, collaboration, and our shared love of pushing classic beer styles in new directions. Fermented warm with Hornindal kveik and built on a rustic grain bill, the beer finishes crisp, dry, and delightfully drinkable.

| Platt Park* | Mountain Merman | 1 | Smokin’ In The Van | Smoked Tea Beer | Legacy | 127 | Dark, Weird | 5.5 | The thing about me is if I see a smoked beer on a menu, I am going to order it. While sipping on one and catching up at a local brewery, I was telling JD (Mountain Merman) how much I’d love to brew one, but I’m hesitant to full send it on our 10bbl system. The ever supportive friend, he said, “well come on down and let’s do one on mine!” JD had the idea to make a tea beer using Russian Caravan tea to get that smoky flavor we love, and here we are! |
| Grossen Bart | Mountain Merman | 1 | Liquid Thanksgiving - Get Basted | Veggie Casserole Pale Ale | Legacy | 128 | Hops, Weird | 5.8 | The brewers at Mountain Merman and Grossen Bart finally brought a long-simmering idea to life with the release of Veggie Casserole Pale Ale.

A beautiful blend of Tommyknocker "Blood Orange Hazy" and Cabin Creek "Dark Side of the Plume" Belgian quad. Notes of citrus, ripe fruit, raisin with just a hint of banana, this mauve colored beer impresses. |
| BJ's | Very Nice | 1 | Honey I Shrunk the Beer | Session Honey IPA | Legacy - Wall | 83 | Hops | 4.9 | Our 5th year of Collaboration but BJ's Brewhouse and The Very Nice Brewing company have been close friends for over 13 years!
