The 2019 Craft Brewers Conference, or as it’s affectionately referred to in the biz, the CBC, is returning to Denver in April, and at it Crosby Hop Farm will be presenting its largest collaboration brewing project yet.

Eighteen world-class brewing teams, each featuring one brewer from the U.S. and one from around the world, have come together to create an unprecedented series of global collaborations, all of them available to attendees at the Crosby Hop Farm Lounge.

Blake Crosby, the CEO Crosby Hop Farm reflected on this impressive global undertaking…

“We love being part of the global craft community, especially with great brewers and artists who also happen to be great friends.”

“We’re thankful for the enthusiastic response from brewers near and far and can’t wait to taste these amazing beers.”

 “This is uncharted territory for the conference, and we are honored to lead the charge.”

The 18 collaboration beers, brewed using more than 20 different hop varieties including Amarillo, Cashmere, Comet, El Dorado and Strata are all currently in production and final offerings promise a huge range of flavors and styles..

And in addition to being able to sample six new collaborations every day at the Crosby Hop Farm Lounge, CBC attendees will also be treated to a virtual reality expedition through the farm and the opportunity to take sensory tour of some of the world’s most intriguing hops…
