2020, an unprecedented year, is now thankfully over. And Portland, OR-based Ecliptic Brewing is addressing 2021 with an expansive roster of beer offerings to look forward to…

Founded by brewing icon John Harris in 2013 Ecliptic Brewing, an Oregon beer icon whose background whose love of brewing and astronomy informs the brewery and many of its beer’s names, is ready to take on the new year, with fan favorites and “astronomical” new additions.

Ecliptic will continue with their current All the Time Series beers, but the company’s two sour ale offerings – Carina Peach Sour Ale and Tucana Tangerine Sour Ale – are moving from 500ml bottles to 16-ounce cans.

With this transition, all of Ecliptic Brewing beers will be packaged in cans this year, aside from the barrel-aged Reserve Series which will continue to be offered in glass bottles.

All the Time Series

  • Ecliptic Starburst IPA
  • Capella Porter
  • Carina Peach Sour Ale – now in 16oz. cans
  • Tucana Tangerine Sour Ale – now in 16oz. cans

Ecliptic will continue its Seasonal Series with five offerings in 2021. Meridian Vanilla Stout, which was introduced last year and kicks off the lineup, will switch from an Irish dry stout to an American stout, and draft will be offered on nitro.

One major change to the series is the introduction of Cloud Core Hazy Pale Ale, which will launch in August and run through October.

Seasonal Series

  • Meridian Vanilla Stout (January/February) – draft on nitro only
  • Flamingo Planet Guava Blonde Ale (March/April)
  • SunRay Juicy IPA (May/June/July)
  • Cloud Core Hazy Pale Ale (August/September/October) – new!
  • Filament Winter IPA (November/December)

“We have been looking at doing a canned pilsner for years, said Ecliptic Brewing’s Sales Manager, Erin Grey Kemplin. “ As a devoted lager drinker myself, I think Pyxis is a much needed addition to our lineup”.

Limited Release Series

  • Pyxis Pilsner – new in 12oz cans!
  • Phaser Hazy IPA
  • Vega IPA
  • Altair Fresh Hop Pale Ale
  • Astro Fresh Hop Lager
