In honor of their new Moon Room location and expanded opportunity to can and lager, Ecliptic Brewing is launching the Moon Room series. The second taproom and production facility in the former home of Base Camp Brewing in SE Portland is a new even closer in opportunity to try Ecliptic’s beers like the debut Moon Room series Vienna Lager.

The Moon Room Series was an idea born from Ecliptic’s Owner and Brewmaster, John Harris. It showcases a brand-new label design from creative agency Sasquatch, and it’s a dark and moody vibe that matches the physical Moon Room location in Southeast Portland. Says Harris, “I am really proud to have opened our second location, and I wanted to celebrate this through lager beer. This series will feature a bunch of great traditional German styles that we haven’t necessarily packaged before, like an Oktoberfest and Schwarzbier.”

The first beer releasing in the series is a Vienna Lager, shipping February 9th in 16-ounce can four-packs and draft. Brewed with Pilsner and Vienna malts, along with Hallertau Tradition and Mittelfruh hops, this traditional German beer is slightly malt forward with notes of oven fresh bread. Continues Harris, “We brewed a Vienna Lager last year with our friends at Chuckanut Brewery, and it was well received. This recipe, while different, will hopefully be another big hit as our first launch in the Moon Room Series.”

Moon Room Series: Vienna Lager will be released in both draft and 16-ounce cans throughout Ecliptic Brewing’s distribution network beginning February 9th. Visit Ecliptic’s website for up-to-date details on potential release events.
