Collaboration in Oregon

[sloshed]

Oregon is justly famous for its beer culture, between the thousands of home brewers experimenting in their basements and the handful of large breweries who sell the state's beers around the world.

But collaborations between the large and small are far less well known, though they are flourishing.

Oregon's largest brewer, Widmer Brothers Brewing, has worked for 10 years with some of the state's smallest home brewers, creating some two dozen beers that otherwise might never have made it to shelves.

The project, known as collaborator, has given home brewers the chance to work in a professional brewery. Nationally, the project recently helped inspire the Denver-based Great American Beer Festival to create a similar, but smaller, program.
