Last year we thought our annual festival of UK brewing collaboration couldn’t get any bigger. And now here we are, twelve months later and #CollabFest is set to return for a third year running – bigger and better than ever. Plus, this year, it takes place on Halloween!

Yes, our showcase of British brewing and collaboration hits our bars this Saturday, 31st October.

Once you’ve finished scouring the neighbourhood for pre-bagged jelly sweets, head along to your local BrewDog bar and embrace the creativity and ingenuity of #Collabfest! In case you’re new here – each year we hook up our amazing UK bar teams with a local craft brewery and give them a blank brewsheet. What results is up to the newly-fledged partnership…

Fast-forward to Saturday, when all you have to do is arrive with your tasting pencils primed. All 21 beers will be on offer at each and every UK BrewDog bar throughout the course of the day. Also at the bar you’ll find a custom-made tasting sheet, so you can note down your thoughts and pick a favourite!

We love #CollabFest because everyone gains from it. Our bar staff get to learn about the principals and mechanics of brewing first hand (if they don’t know already). The breweries get some super-eager helpers for the day– and you get to drink some amazing…and looking at the list above…utterly unique beers. You can let us know just how amazing or unique by tweeting @BrewDog on Saturday using the #CollabFest2015 hashtag! Be sure and ask the bar staff how they got on during their brewday!

So, which ones are you looking forward to the most?
