    Hey everybody!

    I had my first collaboration beer on Thursday, Suede, and after looking it up, wondered why it was only listed in the Stone Brewing list, and not the others?

    So when you guys have a collaboration beer, do you check off all the collaborators, or just the one who has the beer in their profile?

    Thanks!

    Not the answer you're looking for I know, but I drink the beer and never check anything off... but that's just me.

    Usually the beer will only be entered under one brewery. Normally the location where it was brewed or bottled.

    My personal rule is whichever brewery is on the bottlecap

    I use the brewery that brewed the beer as a reference point and all other collaborators are included in a note attached to that beer in my Excel spreadsheet that I keep.

    However, there are some collaborations that have been brewed more than once and at each other's facilities. Half Acre/FFF Anicca is an example.

    The beer should always be listed under the brewery where the collaboration took places. There's no need for multiple listings as it's the same beer and technically the beer wasn't brewed at the other breweries involved.

    That said, there some rare exceptions like: Dogfish / Stone / Victory Saison du Buff. The base style is similar, but each brewer brewed it at their breweries and released their own versions.
