Press Release
Portland, Oregon. Earth. (June 1, 2022)- Ecliptic Brewing is pairing up with Seattle’s Georgetown Brewing to release a Summer IPA. Shipping June 15th in 16-ounce cans and draft, this will be Ecliptic’s third Cosmic Collaboration of 2022.
Ecliptic + Georgetown Summer IPA is crafted to be an unfiltered IPA - but not fully hazy - brewed with Pale Malt, wheat and oats. Strata hops bring a strawberry punch and citrusy undertones while Idaho 7 hops impart juicy, tropical flavors. A huge dry hop and mid-range ABV help make this brew crushable for the heat of summer.
“Georgetown was an easy choice for us to partner with,” says Ecliptic’s Owner and Brewmaster, John Harris. “Manny's been brewing great beer with his team for years, including nabbing the Gold Medal in the IPA category at the GABF [Great American Beer Festival]. It’s an honor to work with them on an IPA.”
Georgetown Brewing’s Founder, Manny Chao, expresses similar sentiment towards Harris, saying, “I grew up in Beaverton (Oregon), and I drank many pints of Hammerhead and Wassail before starting a career in craft beer. It’s a huge honor for me to work with brewing legend, John Harris, in crafting a collaboration beer… and he’s a good dude! Thank you, Ecliptic Brewing, for working with us. Let’s drink!"
Ecliptic + Georgetown Summer IPA will be released in 16-ounce cans and draft throughout Ecliptic Brewing’s distribution network on June 15th. Visit Ecliptic’s website for up-to-date details on this release and virtual launch party.
