Firestone Walker Brewing Co. and Flying Dog Brewery are separated by 2,700 miles of American desert, mountains, plains and forests, but that’s not stopping them. These two legendary breweries teamed up to brew the collaboration beer for SAVOR®: An American Craft Beer & Food Experience.
Since the tradition began in 2011, SAVOR attendees have been treated to a beer brewed exclusively for them to enjoy at the event and take home as a delicious bottled souvenir. This year is no different, and we’re looking forward to the result of this California-Maryland collaboration.
Check out this video about the making of Hydra Cuveé to learn more about the collaboration and blending process.
