Ecliptic Brewing Switches to 500ml Bottles

Ecliptic Brewing is the latest brewery to switch from 22oz bombers to 500ml bottles, following similar switches by the likes of Gigantic Brewing, Culmination Brewing, and many others. Ecliptic has bottled in 22oz packaging since its founding, but the transition to 500ml will begin this September.More from a press release:John Harris, Ecliptic Brewing Owner and Brewmaster, said he is very excited to be moving to this format. “Transitioning from 22oz to 500ml bottles is on trend with the what we are seeing in the industry. The new bottles will provide a single serving size to our consumers at a lower price point.”The 500ml format has become increasingly popular. It makes the beer bottle more approachable for the consumer and easier to finish in a single sitting.Ecliptic’s “All the Time” beer series, which includes Orbiter IPA, Carina Peach Sour Ale, and Capella Porter, will be the first bottles released. Their “Special Release” and “Reserve” series will follow later in the year.For high res bottle images, visit here.About Ecliptic BrewingEcliptic Brewing is a venture from John Harris, an Oregon beer icon whose background is steeped in the state’s rich craft brewing history.
