From what I can tell, there are not many examples of MN craft brewing collab efforts. I see Indeed/Smokehouse, but really nothing else. Has there previously been quite a few collaborations, or is this not really something that has happened much? Being new to MN, I am digging the scene and how its growing, and it would be cool to see some local breweries doing some neat one-off collaboration efforts, especially pushing the boundaries of what's already been done. Hopefully it's not wishful thinking. I am not sure how hard this is for breweries to pull off
Surly seems to have a pretty good bond going with 3 floyds ala Blakkar, Urine trouble and baller stout. As for collaborations between Minnesota brewers I can't think of anything off the top of my head.

Thanks Gatornation. That is awesome. I hope more of these collaborations happen, especially since collaboration brews seem to offer styles and choices normally not seen put there
Surly (well Todd) collaborated with De Proef with Long in Tooth. Bottles that may still be found around in stores. Interesting enough cheaper than any Surly 750ml that has been released in the last few years.
Sociable just announced that they are brewing an imperial stout with Hammerheart https://twitter.com/SociableCider/status/514092768629911552
Just had Long of Tooth this weekend and it was a stellar brew. Blakkr was as well. Would like to see and buy more local collabs if they occur.
