Ecliptic Brewing founder John Harris created the world's best-selling Black Butte Porter when he was at Deschutes Brewery in the 80's, his modern updated take Capella Porter has also racked up the accolades. Ecliptic Brewing's Capella Porter will is making a transition from 500ml bottles into 16oz cans for the first time, and shipping in mid August.

“Cans are taking off. They have been for a while now,” says Ecliptic’s Owner and Brewmaster, John Harris. “We’ve seen our customers gravitate towards this package, so we want to give them what they’re looking for- something lighter and a bit more portable. A canned porter is also something we’ve been wanting to try, so this was an exciting transition for us to make.”

Capella Porter is one of Ecliptic’s most award-winning beers, nabbing Gold medals at the 2016 World Beer Cup and 2019 Oregon Beer Awards, among others. It will be the fourth release in the new 16-ounce can format for Ecliptic Brewing, following the Special Release Series, Cosmic Collaboration Series and Vega IPA Series.    

Capella Porter will be released in the new 16-ounce can format throughout Ecliptic Brewing’s distribution network. Draft will continue throughout the network as well. Visit Ecliptic’s website for up to date details on potential release events.
