The latest in Portland, OR’s astronomy inspired Ecliptic Brewing’s cosmic collaboration series is with Seattle, Washington’s Holy Mountain Brewing. In Alejandro Jodorowsky’s 1972 film ‘The Holy Mountain’ an alchemist gathers together a group of people to represent the planets in the solar system in a trippy, confusing, spiked cult classic rife with religious symbolism and existential philosophy. The heady brew that unites these two iconic Oregon and Washington brands is a decidedly more approachable Extra Juicy Pale Ale for the summer, shipping August 24th in 16-ounce cans and draft.

Ecliptic + Holy Mountain Extra Juicy Pale Ale is brewed with Pale and Pilsner malts and dry-hopped with Vista and BRU-1. This juicy brew packs a tropical punch with notes of stone fruit, melon and pear. It clocks in at 6% ABV. The label, designed by Sasquatch Agency, features a pair of skeleton astronauts and is a nod to some of Holy Mountain’s branding. 

Says Ecliptic’s Owner and Brewmaster, John Harris, “Colin [at Holy Mountain] and I had been discussing doing a collab for a couple years. Holy Mountain makes very unique, flavorful beers and is a favorite of many Ecliptic brewers. I am glad we were able to share this with the world in 2022. Colin and I talked about many different styles but settled on a very drinkable style for the summer. This extra juicy pale delivers.”  

Ecliptic + Holy Mountain Extra Juicy Pale Ale will be released in 16-ounce cans and draft throughout Ecliptic Brewing’s distribution network on August 24th. Visit Ecliptic’s website for up-to-date details on this release and potential release events, including an event in Seattle on September 1st at Ridgewood Bottle & Tap.
