Forget Wetherbore ... who's planning to blitz the 50+ beers at Collabfest this weekend?

I realise this is not accessible to all unless you have a BD bar on offer but I always look forward to this event and whilst the Wetherfest has been dumbed down over the past few years this one has gone from strength to strength with a whopping 52 beers on offer this year !

I have family over at the weekend so my plans are a little buggered up this time round.

The official 4 days are Thursday - Sunday but going by previous years beers will be seen throughout the following week.

I plan to hit a bar or bars on Thursday afternoon and again on Monday.

Can’t hope for a full house this time but looking for half the total and all my top brewery picks.

Remember the days when some bars could host all the Collabfest beers on tap at once ? Long gone !

Here’s the full list of collabs … no details of styles yet but usually a broad mix.

@evilempire think your copy paste shit the bed there mate :wink:

Forgot to add the 49 beers vs 52 beers discrepancy is due to Sao Paolo, Reykjavik and Roppongi. Those 3 will only be available in those countries so they weren’t included in the table for some reason.

Is anyone planning to add all these to the site ahead of time or not? I was prepared to do so last year when the final list was posted, only to find the entire lot were already here. Someone had a contact at BD and got hold of it early I assume? But adding 52 beers at once isn’t a fun task.

Cheers both for the style additions … this will help me prioritise more.

Chilli and Pineapple Black DIPA! Does no one make ordinary beer anymore?!

yes. but for summat like collabfest why would you want to???

did find it amusing that two bars/breweries both picked Eton Mess sour though

ps I have no idea why the site lost the formatting on my list post, it was all neatly in columns on my spreadsheet

Thinking about crossing the bridge to Brewdog Malmö for this, their collab is with Amager and there should be upto 14 others apparently…

Amager Bryghus - Malmö Bar
Oppigårds Bryggeri - Norrköping Bar
Benchwarmers Brewing Co - Gothenburg Bar
Hyllie Bryggeri - Kungsholmen Bar
Örebro Brygghus - Södermalm Bar
Fierce Beer Co
Wylam Brewery
Burnt Mill Brewery
Siren Craft Brew
Black Iris Brewery
Brew By Numbers
Dead End Brew Machine
Cloak and Dagger Brewing
Crafty Devil Brewing Company
Partizan Brewing

#edit - i seem to remember there was one specific terrible collab from last year? or maybe year before, can anyone remember it?

#edit 2 - i found it, was so bad i must of forgotten to rate it :smiley:

Will be tough work this time round! Over the weekend I will be at Abz, Castlegate, Dundee & perhaps also Overworks, so should do fairly well… although I am still not expecting/planning on firing through all of those beers.

Yeah … I had originally planned on Sheps boost for max taps.

However chatting to the bar keep on my first visit to Angel last night he said Bush would only be dedicating 17 taps this year as no one is capable of sticking them all on at once.

Reckon I’ll do 7D and Soho later.

I am in Oxford on Saturday for Ritual Union (a one day multi venue all day music festival) so should pick up everything at Oxford BD

Only 28 on at Leicester throughout the period. Probably just as well considering the cost of the full cost set!

A bit of useful gen for the London crew seeking out max ticks.

Seven Dials and Soho have possibly co-ordinated their offerings.

17 @ SD and 16 @ Soho with only one duplicate between them the Puhaste offering.

Just added 17 new beers to the site in the last hour or so. Most of which were collabfest beers. Came across two already added albeit with minor errors, have submitted corrections for those.

Obviously still plenty more to add but I’m taking a break for now. Will maybe add some more later if there’s any still missing by then.

Could have been me with the differences. Bar put beers under different names. Please amend mine with apologies where needed.

One was yours but definitely not your fault. I’ve been cross referencing Untappd entries, checkin comments and the Spreadsheet posted by BrewDog, and there’s a few differences I’ve spotted with the beers added so far.

A couple of names have been slightly different (users/bar staff missing the puns I think). At least 3 beers have different ABVs. One with wrong style. Little bit messy but it’s all minor stuff so shouldn’t take long for admins to sort out.
I’m sitting at home right now so can’t verify myself, relying on forum/untappd comments from users currently at bars :stuck_out_tongue:

So this is this weekend? I was going to go to Canterbury but 33 ticks in 2 bars sounds like something I want to do. Slowly.

It just so happens that I will be in Reading this Saturday, so a visit to Brewdog and not Spoons is now on the cards.

Yes ian it’s Thursday to Sunday.

Chatting to the bar manager at 7D yesterday they certainly have all 49 collabs (that made it to the Uk) and they’ll all be on at some point.

Either way you should get 30 plus between those 2 bars.

I will be in Soho first and Seven Dials later from 11.00 on Saturday if anyone wants to help me out drink 30 beers.
