Most collabos will see the two breweries come up with a recipe together and brew it at one of their brewhouses, packaged & distributed through that brewery's network. Like Boulevard's numbered Collaboration series.
Sometimes brewers will choose to brew the beer in both places and package individually. This has happened with Boulevard & Sierra Nevada's Terra Incognita, for example.
USUALLY it's the former. A collabo where both all breweries package their own batches is much rarer for obvious logistical reasons.
