Eddyline restaurant and brewery is a ideal example of a Colorado brew pub serving good craft beer. Situated in Buena Vista, Co. nestled in the mountains about some of the very best kayaking spots Colorado has to present, they are a single of the couple of destination spots for excellent craft beer in the Rockies. Not only can you come in and delight in some wonderful wood fire pizza but they are serving some of the finest craft beer any brew pub in Colorado has to give.

Themes are so vital to distinguishing ones beer form the next. Belgium themes commonly revolve about biblical titles and phrases and the church. Russian River Brewing Co. has a slew of Belgium style beers that have the names the likes of “Damnation”, “Sanctification”,”Consecration”. Lost Abbey Brewing from California holds names such as “Angel Share”, “Inferno”,”Devotion”,”Judgment Day”. Possessing names that jump out and grab you with a label that backs it up is practically as essential as the beer inside the bottle. There are currently 1600 breweries in the United States and if your theme and label do not grab the buyer, your beer will be lost on the rack.

Scott Kimball has been with Eddyline for just over a year and a half and he loves it. He explained to me the themes behind their beer and the new expansion of their brew pub. Eddyline attributes all outdoor themes for their beer which is pretty exceptional for the globe of craft beer having said that fitting for their location. Drag Bag Lager is meant to be tied to your raft as you hit the rapids. Crank Yanker IPA is created for the finest thirst quencher after a hard day of mountain bike riding. Kicking Back Amber Lager is exactly what you really should drink when your day is comprehensive and your sitting in front of a fire with the stars over your head. Each theme follows outside sports and activities and it is what separates Eddyline brew pub from all other micro breweries and brew pubs in the state.

Eddyline brew pub is also scheduled for a significant expansion in the late summer time of 2011. A fifteen barrel brew house is in order with a totally automated canning line. Tap home will be connected for draft and growlers but it really is the canning line that will alter the face of craft beer. Whilst most craft beer right now is served in bottles (12oz to 1.5 liter bottles) Eddyline is taking a various strategy one that not only fits with their theme but with Colorado’s typical beer drinker. This brew pub will be canning their craft beer versus bottling it. Cans you say? Aren’t all these macro breweries such as Coors, Miller, and Anheuser Busch canning their lite lagers as nicely? They are. But there is a cause Eddyline is using cans more than bottles.

Colorado is an outside state with tons of activities and sports that hold you busy and functioning up a sweat and not crammed in a busy city or in a cubical. People who live in Colorado ski, snowboard, mountain bike, kayak, raft, run, cycle, etc. You name it, they do it. When the weekend comes they jet out of town, to places like Bunea Vista and get outdoors. This is a significant difficulty for most breweries. Sunlight skunks beer. It will sour it, change the flavor, and overall kill the beer. When most micro breweries bottle their beer in glass, few use cans. A huge purpose behind that has to do with macro brewing businesses getting canned their beer for the last thirty years. Separation at all charges from macro breweries is important for the craft beer industry. This is why most micro breweries opt for to use glass bottles in all sizes more than cans.

Colorado being such an outdoor state glass just will not perform. You cannot drag glass over the rapids, you can not hike with bottles in the sun, and you can not snowboard down a mountain with 12oz bottles in your bag. If you crash they will break. Remedy? Cans! Oskar Blues Brewery in Longmont, Co. is one particular of the first breweries to use cans for their beer. They pioneered the thought in the micro brewery market. Whilst most fled from cans mainly because of macro breweries, Oskar Blues embraced it hoping that a similarity involving light lagers in a can would be a tiny less daunting when trying craft beer in cans.

Eddyline brew pub will be following the footsteps laid out before them by Oskar Blues. On the other hand they are changing the game and the face of craft beer. Eddyline will not only be canning their beer in their 15 barrel brew property, but they will be canning in 16oz tall boys. This is one thing that has under no circumstances been completed prior to in the history of craft beer. Ordinarily tallboys, 16oz, were deemed the least expensive beer probable for consumption for years. Only birra on line was placed into a can let alone a can huge sufficient to have two servings at as soon as. Slitz, Pabst, Coors, and Miller come to mind when you hear Tall Boy. No longer. Soon Eddylinew brew pub will come to thoughts.

With the shift of craft beer into cans Eddyline will personal the marketplace on canned craft beer in Colorado. No longer will you have to worry about skunky beer from sunlight mainly because of their cans. They are providing you 16oz, typical draft pour, instead of 12oz that Oskar Blues serves beer and a half per can versus just one beer. There is practically nothing far more satisfying than holding a can that was meant for the hand of Shaquille O’neal and toasting as if it were your own goblet. Now you can take your craft beer down the slopes, over the rapids, up the mountain, and to the fire pit. Eddyline just changed the face of craft beer forever. Anticipate to see 16oz tall boys of craft beer in your regional wine and spirit shops about Colorado by the end of the Summer time.
