"It’s a calm before the madness here, but we are just in full prep mode," said Jennifer Radloff, Badger State Brewing event director.

"Usually, you see one other brewery collabing, maybe three breweries total, but nine is quite intense," she added.

Creating the beer has been a quick process. Planning began in late January. The beer was brewed about two weeks later. It was canned in mid-March.
