    A few months back, I stumbled on a BrewDog/Stone Bashah. Obviously, it was a couple years old. It was easily one of the best beers I've ever had. What are some of your favorite collaborations?

    I thought Alpine/New Belgium Super IPA was great.

    That hair of the dog/deschutes collage is OUTSTANDING.

    And it's not even ready yet according to the label!

    Best after 4/30/13. Ha!

    I loved the Boulevard x Pretty Things collab, but I haven't had many others. I've walked by Collage at the local bottle shop but I have a hard time pulling the trigger on a $10+ bottle

    I actually liked the Saison du Buff. It was different, but pretty enjoyable.

    Collage, Life N Limb, Stingo #3, Marron Acidife, and Boogoop all were fabulous.

    Local Atlanta brewers O'Dempsey's and Jailhouse did a Scotch Ale called Community Service, absolutely beautiful example of a big Wee Heavy. Jailhouse also partnered with Max Lager's for Partners in Crime, a Berlinerweisse that was excellent too. Finally, O'Dempsey's and Max Lager's (seeing a pattern here) did a wheatwine last week that I'm anxious to try but have heard nothing but good about.

    I came here to mention a couple of these!
    Jailhouse/O'Dempsey's Community Service is my favorite collaboration & the best Wee Heavey I've tried yet.
    And the Max Lagers/ O'Dempsey's Collaborators wheat wine is fantastic! Particularly on cask. My band played the release party a couple weeks ago and I told both John & Randy that it MUST me made again and bottled!
