Eddyline Brewery

Eddyline Brewery, established in 2009, stands as a cornerstone of Buena Vista’s craft beer scene, drawing its name and inspiration from the currents that shape river rapids. Located in the heart of Colorado’s Arkansas River Valley, Eddyline reflects the adventurous spirit of this mountain community, crafting beers that celebrate the outdoor lifestyle of the region.

The brewery began as a small brewpub in the South Main neighborhood, a riverside development that embodies Buena Vista’s connection to outdoor recreation and mountain town culture. Their success led to expansion with a larger production facility and taproom, allowing them to meet growing demand while maintaining their commitment to quality craft beer. They pioneered the use of aluminum cans in Colorado’s craft beer scene, making their brews perfectly portable for outdoor adventures.

Eddyline’s brewing philosophy focuses on creating consistent, high-quality beers that complement the active Colorado lifestyle. Their core lineup includes the popular Crank Yanker IPA, River Runners Pale Ale, and Epic Day Double IPA, alongside rotating seasonal offerings. The brewery’s restaurant location serves wood-fired pizzas and pub fare, while their taproom at the production facility offers a more intimate beer-tasting experience. Both locations provide views of the surrounding Collegiate Peaks and convenient access to the area’s numerous outdoor activities, from kayaking and rafting to hiking and mountain biking.
