Ecliptic Brewing Releases Cans

PORTLAND, OR — Starting in early March, Ecliptic Brewing will be expanding their packaging assortment to include cans. The year-round Starburst IPA and Seasonal Series beers, starting with Quasar Pale Ale, will be available in 12oz cans throughout the Ecliptic distribution network.

Preparing for and installing a canning line is not a small task, but is one that Owner and Brewmaster of Ecliptic Brewing, John Harris, is happy to add to his long list of brewery accomplishments. Ecliptic Brewing is using a counter pressure canning system from Codi Manufacturing out of Golden, Co. Can design was completed by Sasquatch Agency and follows Ecliptic’s familiar astronomy themes.

“This next step for Ecliptic has been one that the entire team has stepped up and helped with,” said Harris. “From making major changes in the brewhouse to design decisions for the cans, this process has been really exciting.”
