Colorado 2025 CollabFest Beer List: Weird, Wild, & Wacky!

🍺🍺🍺 The Colorado CollabFest Beer List for the 2025 Colorado Brewers Guild Collaboration Festival is taking shape. The Guild (CBG) in March announced the 140 beers from a record-setting 180-plus different participating breweries! The brewfest takes place on Saturday, April 19, 2025, at The Westin Westminster.

“Collaboration Fest is a creative cross-pollination of breweries, which creates a unique celebration of craft beer,” says CBG Communications Manager Carrie Knose Wilson. “Craft brewers champion each other through sharing best practices, supplies, and ingredients, and the result is what you see at the festival.”

‼️ We will update the list with Beer Names and Beer Styles as they become available. BOOKMARK THIS PAGE!

The Colorado CollabFest is one of the best beer festivals in Colorado and a top community building festival in the country. The Colorado Brewers Guild fosters an event that brings at least two, and many times more, breweries together. They are tasked with brewing a one-off beer or two, which are unleashed at the festival. When these unique brews are gone, they’re gone for good!

Colorado Beer Media Collab with Lady Justice and Joyride

Be sure to stop by Booth #41 to taste the Colorado Beer Media collab with Lady Justice Brewing and Joyride Brewing that we here at Living a Stout Life helped formulate and brew. For 2025, we all decided to brew a bit of a misleading beer style… a White Stout!

This white stout, named Media Circus, was inspired by this year’s Pantone color of the year – Mocha Mousse. Brewed with love, justice, tomfoolery, coffee, cacao nibs, and a significant amount of emails back and forth – you’ll find a balanced flavor of chocolate and coffee with a golden color, not the sinister darkness of a typical stout. Raise a glass with us to independent breweries, independent media, and independent thinking.

What makes Collaboration Fest so special?

So many breweries from in Colorado and outside of the state, and the spirit of community, is what makes Colorado CollabFest one of the most anticipated beer festivals of the year. There is nowhere else you can sample so many unique beers in one place. The Colorado Brewers Guild expects about 140 beers at the 2025 Collab Fest!

It’s hard to narrow it down to the most unique, weirdest, and off-the-wall beer styles that CollabFest showcases. We can, however, give you a few examples before you peruse the full list in the 2025 CollabFest Beer List below.

At the 2025 Colorado Collabfest, be sure to keep your eyes and taste buds locked on for the Baltic Porter with Blueberry and Lavender, Raspberry Jalapeño Popper Ale, Vanilla Matcha Lemonade Fizz Ale, SponSponBingBong Finished in Earl Grey Gin Casks, Chili Cherry Honey Kolsch, and Smoked Pulled Pork Stout, amongst many other, umm, weird offerings.

Most of the breweries are from Colorado, but only one of the breweries in the collab has to be from the Centennial State. This year’s fest will see collaboration brews between Colorado breweries alongside brewery and industry friends from at least 31 other states!
