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. Clear golden pour with a big sudsy white head that has decent retention. The aroma is mild corn, cereal grains, and a bit of spicy noble hops. The taste rather bready with rye, maize, hay and mildly bitter grass. The palate is medium and crisp. Finishes short and dry. Overall: Decent--One of the better pils

16oz can from Brewers Haven. Cloudy golden pour, initial foamy white head. Aroma is hoppy, citrusy, light pine. Taste comes out in favor of the citrus, lemony, pineapple. And yes, juicy, as the name implies. Nice feel all around.

Can. Pours a brilliant orange hue with a large white head. Lovely non hazy IPA. A sweet toast and perfume nose. Sweet citrus, toast, marmalade, dry at times. Very good. Sweeter than I'd like, but very clean.
