The Ultimate San Diego Craft Beer Collaboration Festival Returns On Saturday, November 10 | Enter To Win 2 VIP Tickets To Karl Strauss Brewing Company's Collabapalooza

October 21, 2018

One of our favorite craft beer events of 2017 returns again just in time for San Diego Beer Week! Karl Strauss Brewing Company is throwing its second annual Collabapalooza indie beer collaboration celebration on Saturday, November 10, from 1-5pm! The brewery has rallied together 30+ independent local breweries to throw a killer party to close out San Diego Beer Week, and we are raffling off 2 VIP tickets to attend.


"We were really pumped about the feedback from last year!" commented Karl Strauss Brewing Company Brewmaster Paul Segura. "The event had great energy and the beer list was phenomenal, so we’re looking forward to seeing what our brewing friends have up their sleeves this year. It’s really something to see so many independent brewers join together and collaborate with one another. It’s what our community is all about!"

Taking place in the parking lot behind the North Park Observatory, Collabapalooza features many favorite San Diego breweries who each will pour two varieties of beer - a small batch or rare beer of their choice, plus a beer brewed in collaboration with another independent San Diego brewery. In addition to unlimited samples of these one-off collaborations and rare releases, Collabapalooza will have food from local vendors available for purchase, live screen printed t-shirts, and a ton more to be announced in the coming weeks.
