BrewDog's long weekend craft beer collaboration festival returns

Collabfest, a global celebration of partnerships between BrewDog bar crew and local breweries, is back and from Thursday, October 20 to Sunday, October 23, craft beer fans will be able to sample a range of over 80 unique brews across BrewDog bars, in the UK and around the globe, from pilsners to pale ales, stouts to sours.

Staff from every BrewDog Bar worldwide create and brew a custom beer with their favourite local brewery for the event. Once ready, these are kegged, distributed, and poured in all bars globally across a four-day weekend. Every bar will hold a different tap list every single day of the festival, to allow guests to visit multiple times and enjoy a different line-up.

BrewDog bars go up against each other in a spot of friendly rivalry, as customers can rate the beers on Untappd or by using in-bar voting booklets. At the end of the festival, the brewer/bar combo with the most votes will be crowned the victor.

Leading craft breweries involved in the home nations include Vault City, Yonder, Brew by Numbers, Lakes Brew Co., Alpha Delta and Gravity Well. Those attending can pick up exclusive festival merchandise including tasting booklets, flight cards, stickers, and the limited-edition annual t-shirts, featuring participating brewery logos.

James Watt, Captain of BrewDog, said: “Craft beer is about discovery, and there’s no better way to discover new styles, than at Collabfest. Showcasing local breweries across a global craft beer stage. Each BrewDog bar will be pouring every beer style, across a four-day weekend. There’s no beer festival like it.”
