If you've been meaning to head out to Buena Vista and try
Eddyline's beer, maybe their Park and Field Clean Up Day will give you an extra incentive. You can volunteer to pick up trash along the trails and when you're done the volunteers will be given a wristband for refreshments at Eddyline. Eddyline has, since their beginnings, portrayed themselves as a brewery with a commitment to being green, sourcing their food locally, participating with local environmental-specific organizations, the recent decision to can their beer instead of bottling, their promotion of hiking, biking, trail walking, and river activites, etc. The brewery is surrounded by mountains and is situated right next to a little creek or river so they have very much embedded themselves in a place where 'the outdoors' is on everyone's mind. The names of their beers echo their desire to see people outside and active as does the artwork going onto the new cans. One visit to the place and you will see their commitment is actually an important component of the community, to respect the land they are in and take care of it properly. So, help them by cleaning up with them, then go enjoy some beer. I'll be out of the state that day or else I would do everything I could to make it out with a group of friends.
