Eddyline opening new brewery in New Zealand

Eddyline Restaurant and Brewery was opened earlier this year and is extremely popular, attracting lines every night of the week. The development of South Main has brought change to the small mountain town of Buena Vista in the last five years and has received mixed reactions. The brightly colored, two and three-story Victorian-style homes that are tightly clumped together next to the public riverfront trails and bouldering park are alien to this frumpy town. Some locals welcome the shift in culture, while others are keeping a wary eye on the development. The brother-sister developer team of Jed and Katie Selby is seeking to bring a tight-knit sense of community to the area by the river. They want to see it become the center of town, and shift the focus away from Highway 24, which is its main artery. Photographed Friday, Aug. 7, 2009. Aaron Montoya, The Denver Post

The Buena Vista-based brewery, which opened in 2009 in the Arkansas River Valley and churned out wood-fired pizzas and hand-crafted beers, has opened a brewery and pizzeria in New Zealand.

The location is intended to be a springboard for future global expansion, Eddyline officials said, referring to the New Zealand brewpub as the first of several “Basecamps.”

“Molley (Heynekamp) and I have a vision for the Eddyline brand to grow internationally with individual Eddyline brewpubs serving as gateways to incredible places around the world,” Mic Heynekamp, founder, said in a statement.

Concurrently, Eddyline launched a new logo and new packaging for its slate of beers such as Crank Yanker IPA, River Runners Pale and Boater Beer Pilsner.

Eddyline officials were not immediately available for comment.
