Come Together

In recent years breweries have begun to work together more and more with the results being absolutely fantastic. These collaborations between these breweries do countless things aside from giving brewers a chance to get to know one another better. Collaborations allow for brewers to share techniques, tips, tricks, and styles with one another and release something truly special. Collaborations between small breweries is really cool however when larger breweries get together it can be something really special.

With this I was able to try 'Blowin' Smoke' a collaboration between Other Half and Bissell Brothers, two breweries I absolutely love but do not get to have enough of. They came together using their own techniques for this beer and it was quite delicious and that is the beautiful thing about collaborations. 'Blowin' Smoke' is a beer with an initial taste and mouthfeel similar to most Bissell beers, however the aftertaste that lingers is very, very similar to the offerings I have had from Other Half. It is these things that make collaborations so special. 

What collaborations are some of your favorites? Also what breweries would you like to see collaborate together? I know that I would kill to see something from Trillium and Treehouse.
