The <a href="http://www.fortgeorgebrewery.com/beers/seasonal/3-way-ipa/" rel="nofollow">Three Way IPA with Ft. George and Block 15</a> was very good as was a third collab brew with a San Deigo brewery that I can't remember the name of. <br /><br />Stone's <a href="http://www.brewbound.com/news/stone-beachwood-and-heretic-collaborate-on-unapologetic-ipa" rel="nofollow">Unapologetic IPA</a> which was a collaboration with Beachwood Brewing and Heretic Brewing Company was really good and there are still bottles of it around.<br /><br />There's a good history of collaboration brews for Seattle Beer Week. Last year it was a barleywine, this spring it was <a href="http://www.seattlebeerweek.com/beer" rel="nofollow">6-Way IPA.</a><br /><br />I'm eagerly awaiting an opportunity to sample a <a href="http://www.reubensbrews.com/blog/2014/8/30/ever-heard-of-a-koyt-beer" rel="nofollow">Koyt that Reuban'sy (my favorite Seattle Brewery, no they don't distribute much) is brewing with Wander</a>.<br /><br />IMHO collaboration brews are a positive influence on craft brewing. The brewers seem to enjoy it, many seem to be commercial successes, and I am enjoying drinking the results. Rnoreply@blogger.com
