We humbly admit that we were inspired to start brewing by other fantastic breweries and homebrewers. There are a whole lot of fellow craft brewers who we respect and admire, and who we've wanted to collaborate with. So instead of dreaming about it, in 2008 we created a new series of collaboration beers that allowed us to achieve our goal of working with different breweries and having some no-regards-for-boundaries fun in the process. Therefore, many of our collaborations don’t conform to preconceived beer styles, include ridiculous amounts of decadent, unfamiliar ingredients and use brewing techniques that have never really been done before.
