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.
Interesting IPA. Bold, big but very smooth. Pours a clear light copper color with a large white head. The aroma is big zesty citrus. The flavor is light resin, big smooth oranges, medium bitterness, a bit of sweet toasted malts. Big clean ’C’ hop beer certainly. Superbly quaffable.
On tap at the brewery. Pours a clear copper color with a large white head. The aroma is citrus, oranges and lemons, some caramel. The flavor is similar: some yeast, toasted malts, caramel, big lemons. Good. Well made.
Interesting beer. On tap at the brewery. Pours a clear yellow color with a large white head. A spicy lemon nose, some perfume. The flavor is herbal, some bitter lemon peel, a bit of smooth yeast and a dry clean finish. Good.
Bomber from Belmont. Pours a clear dark copper color with a large off-white head. Lots of lacing. The aroma is big herbal tea, oranges, caramel. The flavor is slightly yeasty, some caramel, spices, malt forward, oranges, light bitterness. Very earthy and smooth. Almost woody. Good, but not what many will expect from a IPA.
On tap at Belmont Station. Smooth easy drinking beer. Pours a clear copper color with a large white head. A big earthy, malty nose, light berries. The flavor is light floral elements, some earthy almost dusty malts. Pale dominates. Very smooth and easy.
