Telluride, Good People Team Up with Moe’s Original BBQ for ‘Good Ride Lager’ at Collaboration Fest

When two breweries known for bold flavors and good times come together, you know something special is brewing. Telluride Brewing Company, Good People Brewing, and Moe’s Original BBQ are proud to present Moe’s Original Good Ride Lager, a hop-forward West Coast Pilsner crafted for this year’s Collaboration Fest on April 19 at the Westin Westminster.

Brewed with Cryo-Columbus, Krush, and Nectaron hops, Good Ride Lager (5.4% ABV) delivers the clean, bright, and bitter edge that hop lovers crave— Good Ride Lager is a true celebration of everything Collaboration Fest stands for—community, camaraderie, and craft beer. 

“Collaboration Fest is about working together, pushing boundaries, and having fun—and that’s exactly what this beer celebrates,” said Tommy Thacher, President and Co-Founder of Telluride Brewing Company. “We couldn’t have picked better partners than Good People Brewing to make it happen. And since we’re launching distribution in their backyard, we figured we’d bring Moe’s Original BBQ along for the ride to keep the party rolling in the South and in Colorado.”

Get ready for one good ride—and don’t miss your chance to try this limited-release beer at Collaboration Fest on April 19, 2025. Each year, breweries team up to create exclusive small-batch beers, available first at the festival. The event also supports the Colorado Brewers Guild, an organization dedicated to protecting and promoting Colorado’s craft beer industry.

The party doesn’t stop at Collaboration Fest. After its festival debut, Good Ride Lager will also be celebrated with a series of release parties at Moe’s Original BBQ locations across Colorado, and continue being poured while supplies last:

• Moe’s Original BBQ, Englewood – Thursday, April 24 | 6 PM 3295 S Broadway, Englewood, CO
• Moe’s Original BBQ, Eagle – Thursday, May 1 | 5 PM 630 Grand Ave, Eagle, CO
• Moe’s Original BBQ, Lakewood – Thursday, May 1 | 4 PM 2589 S Lewis Way, Lakewood, CO
• Moe’s Original BBQ, Steamboat Springs – Friday, May 2 | 5 PM 1898 Kamar Plaza, Steamboat Springs, CO
• Moe’s Original BBQ, Boulder – Sunday, May 4 | Crawfish Boil Theme 675 30th St, Boulder, CO

These events mark the second series of Moe’s Original BBQ launch parties, with the first round happening just last month as a celebration of Telluride Brewing Co’s recently announced expansion into Alabama, Western Georgia, and the Florida Panhandle in partnership with Buffalo Rock Company. To ensure the freshest beer possible, Telluride Brewing’s Southern offerings will be brewed under contract with Good People Brewing.

“We’ve always believed great beer brings people together, and we’re thrilled to share our beers with even more folks across the South,” said Thacher. “With the help of Good People and our friends at Buffalo Rock and Moe’s Original BBQ, we’re bringing a taste of the mountains to a whole new crew. We can’t wait to raise a pint with more of you.”
