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.

16oz can from Brewers Haven. Hazy golden pour, towering fluffy white head. Light tropical fruit in the aroma. Taste is more tropical fruit supported by some hefty bready malts. Dries out at the finish.

473ml can. Pours a slightly hazy gold-orange with a large, frothy, long lasting, white head that leaves curtains of sticky lace. Aroma of bready pale malt, strawberry, peach, mango, tangerine, floral and weedy hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready pale malt, orange, grapefruit, peach, mango, strawberry and piney hops in a dry, bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Delicious and easy drinking.

On Tap, Black pour with a modest tan head. Good firm roasty aroma, and dark roast malt flavors with just a touch of sweetness to smooth it out. Full bodied full flavored somewhat bold porter. Liked this one
