Description
The journey commenced in October 2013, as Ecliptic Brewing opened its doors in North Portland, not just as a brewery but as a celestial haven—the “Mothership” restaurant. Fast forward to November 2021, and our cosmic footprint expanded with the Moon Room in Southeast Portland, a taproom oasis boasting an extensive selection of Ecliptic beers and the potential for a full-scale production facility. In late 2023, the esteemed Great Frontier Holdings, a collective of West Coast beer and beverage brands, was fortunate to acquire the Ecliptic Brewing brand. John, a vital force in the Ecliptic family, maintains focus on product innovation and expansion, ensuring our beloved beers reach enthusiasts across the United States.

Located in Eugene, Oregon, our innovative brewing facility produces a diverse range of beers and craft cocktails, spanning from avant-garde experiments to timeless classics all year round. It serves as a dynamic hub where creativity and tradition converge to craft exceptional libations.

Dive into our stellar lineup of flagship beers: Starburst IPA, Phaser IPA, Carina Peach Sour Ale, and Capella Porter. But the cosmic adventure doesn’t halt there—our seasonal series changes quarterly, featuring crowd-pleasers like Flamingo Planet Guava Blonde Ale. Explore a spectrum of Special Releases, Cosmic Collaborations, and exclusive draft-only gems straight from our pilot system.

Ecliptic beers defy earthly confines; discover them gracing the tables of the finest restaurants and retail shops across Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Colorado, North Carolina, Arizona, Canada, and even Japan. Join us in this cosmic celebration, where each sip is a tribute to the celestial dance around the sun.

Weirdness in a can. Looks like a standard dunkel black boy with thick lasting off white head. Orange and malt aroma with orange taking over the taste. Long fruit and hop finish.

Pale and hazy. Big lemon aroma. Balancing bitterness, lots of orange, full body. Just really well put together, a nice touch of acidity.

473ml can. Pours a slightly hazy gold-yellow with a medium, foamy, long lasting, off-white head that leaves soapy lacing. Aroma of bready wheat malt, lemon, Belgian yeast and coriander. Sweet flavour of bready malt, lemon, orange peel, Belgian yeast and spicy coriander in a crisp, dry, mild bitter, slightly tart finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Refreshing and easy to drink. The slightly elevated ABV is well hidden.

16 oz. Aroma has notes of latex, strawberry, tangerine, guava, orange creamsicle, crackery malt. Pours hazy golden with a one finger bleach white head with excellent retention. Taste has a high pithy bitterness backed by some light to moderate candy sweetness; lots of juicy hop character. Although I think it’s fucking stupid that they’re trying to brand this as some new kind of IPA (it’s an IPL!!!), this is a really tasty beer.
