PORTLAND, Ore. (May 23)- From Fort George to Worthy and on to Gigantic, the Cosmic Collaboration Series from Ecliptic Brewing has most recently been Oregon brewery focused. This time around however, Ecliptic looked out east for their next collaboration partner. Melvin Brewing from Alpine, WY traveled to Portland to create a beer that defies all explanations. The Cosmic Collaboration is playfully named, Space Ghost Golden Session Barleywine and takes inspiration from Melvin’s illustrious Imperial IPA’s.
“When Jeremy Tofte (Co-Founder/Field Hoperative at Melvin Brewing) and I first talked about this beer he wanted to make a barleywine,” said Owner and Brewmaster of Ecliptic Brewing, John Harris. “I thought a barleywine in the summer? No way! That’s when the idea for a golden session barleywine was born.” said Harris.
Ecliptic+Melvin Space Ghost Golden Session Barleywine
Session Barleywine?! What cosmic sorcery!
An unclassifiable phantasm, Space Ghost explodes with a panopoly of Citra, Mosaic, Galaxy, Southern Cross tropical hop flavors with a taste not unlike Melvin’s famous Imperial IPAs. Complex yet infinitely drinkable, Space Ghost defies all explanations. ABV 8% IBU 75
