At Chaco’s Canteen, everything begins with a love for dogs and the people who love them.

Founded by Aimee Wride and Holly Trujillo, Chaco’s Canteen was inspired by their dog, Chaco, whose adventurous spirit sparked a dream much bigger than a brewery. Our long-term vision is to create a destination where dogs and their owners can spend time together, a place that celebrates the special bond between people and their four-legged companions through community, connection, and fun.

Aimee, a Grand Junction native, and Holly, who grew up in Leadville and has called Grand Junction home since 1995, have spent years imagining a place where dogs don't have to be left behind. They believe some of life's best moments happen when dogs and their owners can share experiences together, whether that's meeting friends, exploring new places, or simply enjoying a day out.

While our ultimate goal is to build Chaco's Canteen into a dog-centered gathering place, every great journey starts with a first step. Today, that step is brewing craft beer. We are currently focused on creating quality beer for distribution to local and regional establishments throughout Western Colorado and beyond. Through our brewery, we're building the foundation for the larger vision that inspired us from the beginning.

Every beer we brew represents more than a beverage, it represents a dream of creating a community where dogs and their people belong together. As we grow, we look forward to bringing that vision to life and sharing the journey with fellow dog lovers along the way.

Chaco's Canteen isn't just about beer. It's about building something for dogs, their owners, and the community that brings them together. 🐾🍻
