Description
Ecliptic Brewing is a venture from John Harris, an Oregon craft brewing icon. As a result of his efforts at McMenamins, Deschutes and Full Sail, craft beer lovers have been enjoying John's beers for over thirty years.

The name Ecliptic Brewing unites John’s two passions: brewing and astronomy. The ecliptic is earth’s yearly path around the sun, and we celebrate this journey through the seasons with the food and beer we make. We rotate our scratch-made menu every six weeks, always highlighting seasonal and local ingredients whenever possible. Our brewhouse showcases several beer releases each year, ranging from modern and experimental brews to long standing favorites. And through it all, we respond to our customer's desires and introduce them to new experiences that keep them coming back for more.

Flagship beers include Starburst IPA, Carina Peach Sour Ale, and Capella Porter. Our seasonal series changes five times a year and includes favorites such as Quasar Pale Ale and Filament Winter IPA. We also brew a selection of Special Releases and Cosmic Collaboration beers.

You can find Ecliptic beers in restaurants and retail shops in Oregon, Washington, Northern Idaho, Colorado, North Carolina, Canada, and Japan.

Can from The Beer Mongers, Portland. Aroma is sharply hopped with lots of tropical fruits, citrus, orange, hint of wheaty malt, with the Mosaic delivering soft notes of onions. Flavour is bitter with a crisp dry finish. Body is medium. Pretty amazing stuff, wonderfully hoppy.

On tap. Pours black with light tannish head. Aromas of cola, sharp nutty chocolate and light toasted malts. Watery dry flavors follow same with additional fruitiness. Barrel effects seem minimal. Just a good fruity porter.

16 oz can poured, picked up at Costco, 4 pack, for probably the best bang for your buck I've seen in a fresh hop. Canned 9/16/24. Fresh, and its fun to know that while I was at the hospital eagerly waiting for our newborn, this beer was eagerly waiting to be canned. Clean and clear golden pour. Rocky foam head with sticky lacing. Hop profile has some cool piney and juicy orange ge fruit. Crisp cracker grain front, with a juicy finish. Full flavor, really nice weat coast style collab from breweries that can pull off hazy, but really shine when they go old school. Very good IPA here.
