Best Collaboration Beer

So far for me, Epic/DC Brau's Imperial Pumpkin Porter Fermentation without Representation

 

Well, I was gonna say the Sierra Nevada / Brauhaus Riegele Oktoberfest, but it seems a little redundant by now

 

Stone Dayman Coffee IPA
Stone/ Firestone/ 21st amendment El Camino (un)real
Three Weavers Nobel The Messenger Citrus IPA
Brewdog/ Stone Bashah

 

And it's not even close. I miss it so much.

 

In the IPA vein I really loved Lawson's Finest Liquids/Tree House SSSHHHHH!!! IIPA, their Yaaaargghh! collaboration was also really great. The Lawson's/Cigar City Reverse Migration was on point, particularly when fresh, and I completely enjoyed The Other Half/Tree House Green Street.

 

I really liked the collaboration between Amager and Surly. Todd - The Axe Man

 

Stone xocoveza

 

Xocoveza is still great. They don't call it a collaboration anymore but it's the same recipe.

When GF bought Alpine they made a collaboration IPA called Handshake which I thought was really good. Much more Alpine than GF. Alpine also did a collab with Mission called Don't Act Like You're Not Impressed which was fantastic.

Cigar City and Hardywood made two milk stouts called Milkmaid and Milkman. One being a "white milk stout", and the other being a chocolate milk stout. Those were really tasty.

Todd the Axe Man collab between Surly and Amager was really good too.

 

Life & Limb from Dogfish and Sierra Nevada *drops mic*

 

Rue D'Floyd

 

I have more respect for Boulevard than my actual enjoyment of their beers would suggest (haven't loved anything yet), but their Tropical Pale Ale collab with Cigar City, as mentioned, is super. Full of passionfruit flavors.

I also really liked this Amager/Hill Farmstead collaboration "Shadow Pictures":

Two Roads/Evil Twin Geyser Gose was fun/drinkable.

 

I think there's a lot of fantastic collabs:

Amager Bryghus/Surly - Todd The Axe Man
Stone, et. al. Xocoveza.
Stone, et. al. Mint Chocolate Stout.
Sierra Nevada/Riegele Oktoberfest.
Omnipollo/Buxton - Yellow Belly
Evil Twin/Two Roads - Geyser Gose
Lawson's/Otter Creek - Double Dose
Other Half/Trillium - Street Green
Other Half/Garage - Chesterfield Dreams
Other Half/Tired Hands - Oat Overdose
Grassroots etc. - Convivial Suarez, Brother Soigne
Crooked Stave/Jester King - Cerveza Sin Frontera
Carton/Smuttynose - Sit Down Son
Half Acre/Tired Hands - American Youth
Hill Farmstead/De Molen - Works of Love 2013: Brouwerij de Molen
Hill Farmstead/Svaneke Bryghus - Raskolnikov
Otter Creek/Jack's Abby - Joint Custody
The Alchemist/Dieu du Ciel - Moralite

 

Leaner - Side Project & Casey Brewing and Blending

 

The first batch of Gose Gone Wild was great, it's my highest rated Gose. Truly a great easy drinks sour.

 

Hill Farmstead / Alpine collaboration Mutual Admiration in 2015 was a great one in my opinion.

 

Might just be a rose-tinted memory, but I adored the glass of the HF/John Kimmich collab Walden. Super full and fruity.

 

I really enjoyed the Half Acre version of Anicca, their collab with FFF.

 

Liked the Conflux of Dechutes and HoD a nice strong Oud Bruin still drinking good.

 

This one gets my vote, hands down.
