Eddyline opened in May 2009 over the CKS Paddleest weekend with the goal o serving exceptionally drinkable b

suited or any outdoor adventure whether just a quick play session in the river, celebrating a tough 14er, mounta

any o the epic single track, or just kicking back on the deck overlooking the beautiul Arkansas valley. In Septem

Eddyline opened its production brewery and started canning their CrankYanker IPA. Eddyline chose cans over bo

to their much smaller environmental impact, better ability to preserve the quality o the beer, and suitability to be

an outdoor environment.

The CrankYanker IPA deviated rom the traditional american IPA where the emphasis was on maximizing bitternemaximizing the hop aroma and balancing the malt prole with the bitterness or absolute drinkability. Following th

and rapid market response to the CrankYanker, Eddyline launched a pilsener or CKSs Paddleest called Boater B

2013EDDYLINE BREWINGEddyline Brewing was ounded by Mic and Molley Heynekampin 2009 ullling their dream o raising their three children in the Arkansas River valley. Micand Molley Heynekamps brewing experience began in the early 90s as homebrewers while

pursuing their respective geology and accounting degrees. During their ree time they would

make the trek northward to Salida and Buena Vista to kayak the Arkansas, climb the mighty

14,000 peaks o Colorado, and visit the ew microbreweries that were beginning to sprout up.

Fast orward to 1997 when the reality o moving to Houston to work as a geologist began to

sink in, Mic and Molley realized the key to living a mountain liestyle was to transorm their

home brewing hobby into a business and in 1999 they ound the open door that led them to

launch Socorro Springs Brewing Co. During the next several years as Socorro Springs thrived

and grew, Mic pursued an airline career beore realizing being home and raising a amily was

more important and that it was time to nd the path to the mountains and rivers o Colorado.

In 2005, they decided that Buena Vista was the key to their dreams and began investigating

the possibilities.

During the decade that transpired rom when there were just a ew dozen Colorado

microbreweries to when they decided to call Buena Vista home, nearly 200 microbreweries

were started. The Heynekamps knew that to be successul in such a competitive arena they

had to produce beers that were exceptional. The Heynekamps moved to Buena Vista with

their relatives Brian England and Ryan McFadden who were to manage Eddyline. Eddyline

initially began as a brewpub eaturing wood-red pizzas and grilled items in a location on the

banks o the Buena Vista river park brewing on a three barrel brewery. By the second summer

capacity had been reached at 400 barrels (1 barrel = 31 gallons) and the planning process hadbegun to build a bigger brewery and canning acility to can the Eddyline beers.

TITLE SPONSOR:

wildfowers in awe o the magical scene. This beer

was ollowed by the Pumpkin Patch Pale Ale which

won a silver medal at the All Colorado Beer Festival.

In October o 2012 at the Great American Beer

Festival, Eddylines River Runners Pale Ale won a

prestigious gold medal and became their th beer

to be canned. From brewing less than 300 barrels

in 2009 they are on track to brew more than 3000

barrels or 2013.

Eddyline chose to take over where New Belgium

Brewing let becoming the title sponsor o the

65th year o FIBArk, Colorados oldest and largest

whitewater estival. Taking over as the title sponsor

was a natural choice as Eddyline believes in pairing

beers that are specically designed to complement

the outdoor enthusiast, supporting a local event

that epitomizes the reasons the Heynekamps have

called the Arkansas valley home, and the belie that

Eddyline can build on the legacy thatFIBArk has grown.

On behal o the 2013 FIBArk Board o Directors, welcome to

Salida and the nations oldest whitewater estival! The FIBArk

Whitewater Festival presented by Eddyline Brewing is made

possible by the tireless eorts put orth by a dedicated group o

volunteer board o directors.

Selected rom the local community, these members assist

in the year-round planning needed to produce an event like

FIBArk. Throughout the all and early winter the board meets

approximately once a month. Then, as winter slowly releases

its grip and spring begins to emerge, board meetings happen

more requently and in the weeks leading up to the estival,

board members gather weekly at the FIBArk boathouse to

secure nal details o this historic event.

Responsibilities o board members include operating the

estival as a 501 c(4) non-prot corporation, attracting and

retaining sponsors, planning the races and events, reviewing

entertainment and vendors, community outreach, and

promotion o the event. This year the board has placed a

greater emphasis on youth paddling programs in an eort to

promote whitewater paddling and river stewardship.

Larry is also an accomplished sailor, winning many national championships, setting records and helping

others build rigging and even boats. In the 1950s he built the rst whitewater racing canoe which he and Paula

used to claim their national titles. Additionally he built many o the rst rigid racing kayaks used by FIBArk

competitors in the down river and slalom races.

In the all o 2012, Zuk was selected as or an American Canoe Association Legend o Paddling Award or his

eort in paddle sports. Later in 2012, the Colorado Whitewater Association presented him the Founders Award.

He recently published the book Stories o a Century o Canoeing and Canoes, and is in the process o writing

a second book titled Early White Water Canoeing and Kayaking in the Rocky Mountains 1949-1969.

STEVE & ERIC FRAZEEThe ather and son team o Steve and Eric Frazee are local legends around Salida and FIBArk. Its with

great pride and honor that FIBArk places them into the hall o ame or their pioneering spirit, assistance in

advancing FIBArk and championship paddling skills.

Steve was born in Salida in 1909, raised in Gareld when it was a mining camp and ended up graduating rom

Western State College in 1937. He died in 1992. He served as the 1959 FIBArk Commodore when that position

held more responsibility that it does today. He was a driving orce behind FIBArk early on, taking on the

responsibility o coaching gate judges, coordinating with the American Canoe Association and und-raising

to attract international competitors. Although he didnt race, Steve helped set slalom courses, organized ree

housing or competitors and was the go-to-guy behind the scenes o FIBArk. For all o his work with FIBArk,

Steve demanded no acknowledgement, no kudos. He did it or the love o the town and sport.

Steve served as the director o the Salida Building and Loan Association, was the citys building inspector

and eventually retired in 1978 as the district court probation ocer or Chaee and Fremont Counties. He was

known as an accomplished fy sherman, seeking out streams and lakes around the Gareld area where he

had a cabin.

Notably, Steve was a writer, penning more than 50 books and short stories with Western heritage themes. A

number o his stories were turned into lms and popular TV series like Bronco, Zane Grey Theater and

Cheyenne. Steve also wrote big budget movies like Many Rivers to Cross and Gold o the Seven Saints.

He was president o the Western Writers o America. In 1961 he won the Western Heritage Award and was

honored by the Cowboy Hall o Fame.

Eric was an original river rat. He started foating the Arkansas River on an inner tube at food stage. His dad

bought him his rst racing kayak in 1955 and he started racing around Salida and Colorado, teaming up with

best riend and kayak buddy Carol Kane and other notable river runners o the day like Erich Seidel and Xaver

Wuermannsdobler.

In 1957 Eric, at the age o 17, he and Carol represented the U.S. at the world championships in Germany.

The course was brutal but it was an experience o a lietime or the young boaters who returned with new

knowledge. Soon ater returning, they were practicing rolls

at Salida Hot Springs and Franz Lake and the locals were

quick to ollow suit. Carol and I were the rst Americans

to take on what slalom was really about on the world-wide

stage, Eric said.

Eric let the area in 1959 and moved to Los Angeles and

bounced around between there and Denver. Hes an

accomplished musician and still plays today. Hes been a

writer, television camera man and home builder. Eric has two

daughters, Janine and Rene, and he currently lives in Bailey.

This year the FIBArk Whitewater Festival presented by

Eddyline Brewing marks its 65th anniversary as the nations

oldest whitewater estival and Salidas signature event.

Since 1949, every June during the spring snow runo, Salida

has hosted FIBArk, First in Boating on the Arkansas. For a

ull schedule o FIBArk events and history, visit Fibark.com.

Three whitewater boaters have been selected into the 2013 class o the FIBArk Hall o Fame.

Larry Zuk, Steve Frazee and Eric Frazee will join the hall o ame which was established in 2008

to recognize and honor those individuals who have made signicant contributions to the FIBArk

Festival.

LARRY ZUKLarry Zuk is selected to the FIBArk Hall o Fame or his dedication to racing, superior boat design

and overall leadership within the whitewater community.

Zuk, who is 90 and currently lives in Longmont, rst raced at FIBArk in 1954 where he was

the top American nisher in the slalom races placing th overall and a top 15 nisher in the

downriver.

He and his wie Paula went on to participate in many more FIBArk races through the years

continually nishing as the top American athletes in down river, slalom kayaks and slalom

canoes. In 1956 at FIBArk Larry earned the national championship o the K1 slalom race. He and

Paula also claimed the national title o the C2 race. During the same time Larry was participating

in FIBArk, he was an important gure in the development o racing rules and procedures or the

event.

Larry is the ounder o the Colorado White Water Association which dates to 1954 and he has

held numerous leadership positions in the American Canoe Association both regionally and

nationally. He was National Commodore o the ACA in 1975-76 and he helped lead the ACA

100th Anniversary Committee in 1979-80. Larry has been an ocial to several international

competitions including the 1976 Olympics.
