Are you on the fence about picking up a ticket to our Collabapalooza festival? Read on to see why there’s no place you’d rather be on November 11th
What the hell is a Collabapalooza?
Pronounced Co-Lab-UH-pah-Loosa, this festival is the first of its kind here in San Diego. We invited indie breweries from around town to collaborate with us and with other breweries they’re pals with in the spirit of camaraderie that has come to define the craft beer scene in San Diego. We’ll be pouring all of these beers as well as a boatload of additional small batch or special releases at the event.
Sounds rad, who is collaborating?
We have personally created 8 collaborations with some friends of ours and you can look forward to unlimited samples of each on November 11th!
