With the 2023 beer festival season already well underway, one of Colorado’s biggest signature events is ready to unveil its full lineup. The 2023 Collaboration Fest, which this year moves to The Westin Westminster for the first time, will feature 175 participating breweries collaborating on over 120 beers.

One of the more uniquely distinct beer festivals in the country, Collaboration Fest brings together local and national breweries to brew one-off collaboration beers designed specifically to be showcased at the event. This year’s fest will take place on Saturday, March 25 from 2-6pm for VIP ticket holders and from 3-6pm for General Admission ticket holders at The Westin Westminster at 10600 Westminster Blvd, Westminster, CO.

Hosted by the Colorado Brewers Guild, Collaboration Fest welcomes participating guild members to team up on one in-state collaboration beer as well as a collaboration with out-of-state breweries if desired. As a result, this year’s fest will feature 20 out-of-state breweries, as well as two international collaborations.

“Not only are members of the State of Craft Beer teaming up with one another, I’m delighted to see non-Colorado breweries such as Beachwood Brewing and Monday Night Brewing on the roster, as well as Cyprez Tap Room out of Mexico,” says Shawnee Adelson, CBG executive director. “This proves that Collaboration Fest is a world-class beer event that brings both breweries near and far.”

Other out-of-state collaborating breweries include Perennial Artisan Ales, La Cumbre Brewing Co, Boneyard Beer, El Segundo Brewing Co., Payette Brewing, Roadhouse Brewing Company, and Otherworld Brewing (UK) to name a few.

Tickets are currently available for $65 for General Admission and early admission VIP for $85
