Brewdog Collabfest 2019

I would say “most” of the beers are collaborations. Certainly in the UK. Definition of the word collaboration in brewing is of course highly subjective. For the 1st couple of years we used to just put BD as the collaborator and the bar name in the description. Until it was decided that the bar name should be in the title. A large part of that was because in some bars the beer name wasn’t shown, just the BD bar name. I went to the personal effort to rename all the past Collabfest beers to include bars, so wouldnt be in favour of removal of the bar names. If one feels so strongly that the beer in question doesn’t merit a collaboration acknowledgement I still feel it is useful to have the bar name in there somewhere… so you could remove the “/” or alias the collab name to the new name in which the beer will be sold outwith the BD bars perhaps?
