    It would be cool if there was a more standardized way of listing collaborations, ie. both (or more) breweries link to the same beer listing. I find that a lot of the time a collaboration only shows up under one brewer, or shows up under both separately, or only lists additional contributing breweries in the comments. I think that this would help improve consistency.

    What I had been told in the past is that collaborations are listed under the brewery they are brewed at not listed under all breweries that collaborated (though many people include the collaboration breweries in the name of the beer). It should only show under the one brewery unless it was made multiple times at different locations or brewed at both locations (i.e., Saison du Buff from Stone, Dogfish Head, and Victory).

    I was wondering if it would be possible to update the "Add Beer" form to allow us to be able to add two or more brewers to a single beer. Then we could keep the beer listing titles a lot neater (no need to put "X brewery collaboration" in title) and it would make all of the breweries involved have links to their pages on the brewed by section of the review page.

    Instead of:

    I could be wrong, but I don't think most people know this information or pay attention which complicates things. I like the OP's suggestion and Samuel906's screenshots are great!
