favorite collaborative beer?

one that always sticks out in my mind is the allagash/new belgium hibiscus one vrienden

 

Thornbridge/Kernel Burton Ale.

 

the bruery/ cigar city marron acidifie first comes to mind. every time ive had it i like it more and more. great stuff

some of the stone collabs are tasty as well, really liked the highway scotch ale.

i hear the more brown than black is pretty incredible too, havnt tried it tho, i still see it on the shelf but im not sure if ive miss the hop bliss boat on it. has anyone had once recently? are the hops still going strong?

 

A collab that sounds great ("sounds" cuz I haven't actually had it yet) is the Acer Q Bruery/Lawson's. The collab Stone did with my local NOLA was excellent...few people outside of Louisiana will get to try it though unfortunately, aside from a few kegs that Stone has/will be getting.

 

Right now it's Kabert, Its is drinking really good now. But im sure when Sierra Nevada and Russian Rivers new collaboration come out it will be that instead.

 

Ooh, I want to try that; is it still around in London? I'll be there in just over a week...

My pick for best collab was actually going to be The Kernel/Redemption Strong Dark Mild.

 

I've only tried one and it was Collaberation not litigation. The one i missed that i really regret now is Depth Charge

 

I'm a big fan of the Sierra Nevada/DFH Life and Limb. I was even surprised at how much more I liked Batch 2 because I thought Batch 1 was already solid.

Birra del Borgo and Cantillon's collaboration Duchessic is also really good.

 

just picked up the Duchessic, waiting to try it tonight, but im really looking forward to th upcoming RR/SN collab

 

The hops are still going strong, great beer, recently sent one to my gf's brother in Wisconsin and he loved it as well. Had that Marron Acidifie at a bar a few weeks ago and that was amazing.

 

Yeah they are. More Brown Than Black was damn good. Too bad I drank my last bottle a few days ago.

 

Sierra/DFH Life & Limb

 

I have a few bottles of Kabert headed my way.

 

This is the one! Amazing brew... I'm not normally a "Black IPA" dude, but this stuff is Heady Topper's little brother.

 

I loved L&L! Didn't even think about it when I read the thread as I always just consider it a DFH beer.

Another great DFH collaboration was with Russian River, Avery, Lost Abbey and Allagash. Something about a bell. I'm sure someone knows the name.

 

Marron Acidifie is really good. Thier ISO:FT is alos awesome.

I also enjoy Boulevards Collaboration with Deschutes on their Blegian IPA.

 

The Stone/Alchemist/Ninkasi beer is also very good.

 

i really like boulevaed collaboration #2 with deschutes
