Ecliptic Brewing will release their next Cosmic Collaboration just in time for their 7th anniversary. Ecliptic + Russian River Pinot Noir Barrel-Aged Belgian-Style Golden Ale is the wild yeast brettanomyces dosed and oak-aged version of a 5th anniversary collab first released one year ago. Due to release October 22nd in 500ml bottles and draft, you can join Ecliptic owner/brewer John Harris and Russian River Brewing owner/brewer Vinnie Cilurzo for a virtual release party that evening at 5:30pm.

With the addition of Brettanomyces and 11 months in wine barrel hibernation, the result is slightly tart, fruity yet wild, wine forward beer.

Says John Harris, Ecliptic Brewing Owner and Brewmaster, “We sent a sample of our 12 barrels down to Vinnie and Natalie [Russian River’s Owners] to taste. We compared notes and have come up with a blending plan for the beer. We’re excited to release a new barrel-aged project this year; it’s definitely something to look forward to.”

The Pinot Noir Barrel-Aged Belgian-Style Golden Ale will be released in both draft and 500ml bottles throughout Ecliptic Brewing’s distribution network. The company will be hosting a short Virtual Release Party on October 22nd with John Harris and Vinnie Cilurzo. Event details are on Ecliptic's Facebook page.
