Collaboration is part of modern craft beer’s DNA, but today’s challenges mean brewers must be choosier about when and where they dedicate their time. From fellow industry pros, here are some key considerations to keep in mind.

Brews of a different kind have the potential to bolster sales and expand your brewery’s local footprint. But quality-focused coffee programs take a variety of shapes—which is the right fit for your brewing business?
