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 grainy, wet hayfield, chalky. Pours nearly clear golden with a two finger bone-white head with decent retention; settles into a skiff of foam after a minute. Taste has some light malt sweetness backed by a significant herbal hop bitterness. A really nice pils.
Bottle. Dark brown beer with a dark cream head. Chocolate and caramel aroma. caramel and dark fruit flavor with light chocolate. Medium bodied. Chocolate and light roast linger with caramel and dark fruit.
Poured from 12 fl oz can. Cloudy dull gold with minimal white head. Sweet, almost juicy, citrus, hint of tropical and resin. Very nice flavour blend though slightly light. Still very good nonetheless.
12 oz can. Pours a very dark brown with full tannish head. Aromas of cream and roasted malts. Flavors of creamy coffee and dry roasted malts. Nice enough.
On tap at Belmont Station Bier Cafe, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out lots of bourbon upfront, followed by brown sugar, and caramel. Flavour is very sweet, with lots of brown sugar, caramel, cocoa and whiskey. Cloyingly sweet, with just too much tiramisu character. The whiskey is pleasant, but I'd prefer if it attenuated some of the sweetness. Fun but only drinkable in small amounts.
12 oz. Aroma is vanilla, dark bread, chocolate. Pours black with a one finger beige head with decent retention. Taste is lightly sweet with a moderate herbal hop bitterness; flavors of bread, vanilla, chocolate. Not bad.
