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.

Bright straw, aroma is a touch herbal with light bread. Bitter, lean, fresh pale malt, great balance. I like this.

On tap at Ecliptic, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is dank and herbal hop-heavy. Flavour brings out earthy herbal notes, followed by toasted malt. Decently balanced and drinkable, but pretty boring.

On tap at Ecliptic, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out spicy Belgian yeast notes, and subtler dry hops. Flavour is along the same lines, with notes of Belgian yeast, light spice, and some dry biscuity malt. Decently balanced and drinkable, but not very exciting. Not bad.

On tap at Ecliptic, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out skunky herbal notes, not a whole lot else. Flavour is soft but sharp, with skunk cabbage and herbal hops. Seems to be off-flavoured with such notes. Not good at all.

On tap at Ecliptic, pours an amber-tinged dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, oatmeal and light dry cocoa. Flavour is soft and smooth, with notes of dry cocoa and oatmeal. Dry and oaty, with a thin palate. Okay, but fairly boring.

On tap at Ecliptic, pours a clear red amber with a small beige head. Aroma and flavour are very boring, with some dry bready malt above anything. Nothing really to this. It's okay, but very uncreative. Not too good.

On tap at Ecliptic, pours a clear golden orange with a small white head. Aroma and flavour are not the hoppiest, though there are very dry astringencies, with a dry biscuity malt backing. Balanced enough, but really boring. Not so good.

On tap at Ecliptic, pours a crystal clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out dry crackery malt, some metallic notes and a hop astringency - doesn't smell the best. Flavour is barely even anything, with a dry biscuity malt base, with a sharp hop astringency. Not very interesting at all. Inoffensive but boring as hell.
