    With Albuquerque Beer Week approaching and the word getting out that the 6-7 brewers (all very good in their own right) decided to brew a Session IPA, I felt a great deal of disappointment. The collaboration beer has been some IPA or variant every year I've been here (Rye Session IPA, DIPA, DIPA) and besides seeming like a half-hearted effort short on creativity or maximization of the brewers' respective talents, it seems to reinforce Albuquerque's seemingly one-trick pony brewing status.

    Doesn't such a humdrum beer defeat the purpose of collaborating? I assume other cities and states brewers have done a better job of bringing out their best/wildest/boldest ideas in brewing a collaboration beer for Beer Week or Beer Month, so what, if any, have those been?
