Welcome Beer: Party Laps!

Have you ever gone to a beer fest & were handed a beer the second you step through the door? At Collab Fest we take beer very seriously. So seriously, that our Board of Directors gets together each year to brew a new beer for the fest that they will personally hand out to attendees as they walk through the festival entrance!

This year the Board created a Helles with Hopsteiner’s new Alora hop variety, Root Shoot Malting’s Thunder pils malt, and Propagate yeast’s Weihenstephan strain.  Alora hops are formerly known as HS17701 and burst with aromatics of peach, apricot, sweet melon, and yuzu fruit. 

Party Laps was brewed at Elevation Beer Co. in Poncha Springs in late February, so naturally everyone called a “Board Meeting” (wink wink) at Monarch Ski resort the next day… hence the name, Party Laps!

A big thank you to Root Shoot Malting, Hopsteiner, and Propagate Labs for their ingredient donations to make this fun Welcome Beer for the fest!
