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.
16 oz. Aroma is coriander off the bat, followed by lemon, wheat, orange, notes of clove, SweeTarts. Pours nearly clear golden with a two finger white head with excellent retention. Taste has a fairly high pithy bitterness to go along with some mild sweetness and faint tartness. Strong coriander flavor along with the lemon and orange notes. Pretty good.
12 ounce can. Pours a clear golden hue with a medium white head. A soft toast and fruity nose. Light, clearly a pale, big perfume, juicy hops, a dry malty core. Amarillo gives it that juicy sticky core. Nice.
Bottle from Bine & Vine. Pours dark brown with a Guinness tan head. Aroma of chocolate and smoothish burnt malt. Hint of citrus? Med body. Extremely smooth texture. Burnt/earthy malt bitter. Not dry. Chocolate. Hints of citrus and coffee. Pretty nice porter.
16 ounce can. Pours a light hazy orange hue with a small white head. A big tropical fruit and coconut nose. The flavor has some sharp sourness, lime, coconut, big pineapple. Very interesting.
12 ounce can thanks to Trevor. Pours a clear orange hue with a large white head. A light fruity nose. Sweet, big fruit, light vanilla, strawberries and cream, some soft oranges. Very nice.
Claims to be a juicy, tropical IPA, but it's a West Coast hop-bomb at heart, full of sticky, bitter pine and grapefruit pith hiding behind an initial rush of mandarin, passion fruit, and peach. Develops a grainy sweetness towards the middle, but quickly dries out for an old-school lingering bitter finish. Very tasty.
