Love Craft Beer? Don’t Miss Collabapalooza, The Celebration Of The SD Indie Beer Scene!

The spirit of collaboration is alive and well in San Diego’s vibrant brewing community.

To celebrate this camaraderie, Karl Strauss Brewing Company rallied together 30+ independent San Diego breweries to throw an epic party during San Diego Beer Week!

Introducing Collabapalooza, a beer festival featuring one-off collaboration beers and rare releases from participating breweries.

Since helping start the city’s craft beer scene in 1989, Karl Strauss Brewing Company has been committed to supporting the San Diego community. One way they demonstrate this support is by partnering with other local, independent breweries to brew & release collaboration beers that often raise awareness for local causes.

“Collab brews give us a chance to work with our talented friends in the industry who we’ve known and admired for years, and make something special together. At the heart of it, we’re beer fans, and not only do we want to make good beer, but we want to drink good beer made by others too. It’s been awesome to watch this event come together and see so many independent brewers within our community jump on board and collaborate with one another. I’m stoked to try all the unique brews we co-create!” -Paul Segura, Brewmaster, Karl Strauss Brewing Company

Each participating brewery will be pouring two beers-a small batch or rare beer of their choice, as well as a beer brewed in collaboration with another independent San Diego brewery. Proceeds from the event will benefit both the San Diego Brewers Guild and the North Park Main Street Association.
