collaborations
A Collaboration beer is not a style, in fact it could conform to no beer style at all. A Collaboration arises when brewmasters from two (or more!) craft breweries decide to get together on a single beer. It could be a simple affair arising from one brewer brewing at another brewhouse. Two brewers each make a batch from the same recipe. The “Pro-Am” beers, where a homebrew contest winner has his recipe scaled up to production size, like Sam Adams Longshot competition, could be considered collaborative. So could various “ReplicAle,” where members of a state’s craft brewing organization each produce a beer based on a similar recipe.
Inspired by the brews from Russian River and Avery, their Collaboration, Not Litigation. Brooklyn and Schneider – Talk things out over a beer? It’s a time-honored tradition. When the guys who make beer sit down to talk things over, great beer can result.
We’re proud to say that we were welcomed to work with two brewers who’s reputations go before them. Eddie Gadd of Gadd’s of Ramsgate and Rodger Davis of Drakes/Triple Rock brewery in Berkeley/Oakland California.
