Portland, OR -

Ecliptic Brewing is approaching their 8th orbit and a 5-day anniversary celebration will commence on October 20th. To commemorate the occasion, Ecliptic Brewing is returning to a newish sub-style of Italian-style Pilsner which they brewed successfully in Spring of 2020.


More from a press release:

Eighth Orbit: Italian-style Pilsner is brewed with Pilsner malt, Imperial Harvest yeast and is heavily dry hopped, with a hop bill including Magnum, Adeena, Wurttemberg, and Saaz. A crisp, clean finish and 5.3% ABV make this a very drinkable lager. Ecliptic previously collaborated with Ruse Brewing on an Italian-style Pilsner that was a big hit and inspired a return to the category.

 

Says Ecliptic’s Owner and Brewmaster, John Harris, “In the past, I have always brewed a beer with fruit or other ingredients. This year I wanted a classic, newer style done just right- crisp and clean, waiting to refresh everyone.”

 

Eighth Orbit: Italian-style Pilsner will be released in 16-ounce cans and draft throughout Ecliptic Brewing’s distribution network on October 20th. The company will celebrate the release and its eighth anniversary with a five-day celebration at their restaurant which includes rare beer tappings, amuse buche food specials and more. Visit Ecliptic’s Facebookpage for up-to-date details on this event.
