When two or sometimes several breweries join forces and brew a beer together, it is called a "collab".
Collabs are an important and beautiful thing in the craft beer world. The brewers exchange recipes and learn from each other. And even more important: Friendships develop beyond all borders.
The festival promotes collabs in all its forms and especially during the festival time there is a lot of brewing happening because the different brewers are in town. This year the following collabs will take place. You can try all thosebeers some time later:
