Ecliptic / Cigar City Illuminating The Path Coming 12/16 & Filament Winter IPA Available Now

In addition to the release of Filament, Harris has announced the upcoming availability of a collaboration beer with Cigar City Brewing. The unique, pinot noir barrel-aged strong ale is called Illuminating the Path, and was brewed with hibiscus and acai berries from Florida, as well as rose hips and marionberries from Oregon. Harris flew out to Tampa, Fla., in May of 2013 to visit Cigar City Brewmaster Wayne Wambles, where they concocted the concept for Illuminating the Path and brewed the beer collaboratively.

Ecliptic Brewing is the only place west of Tampa where Illuminating the Path will be available for purchase.

“We achieved a major milestone in October when we opened the brewpub for business,” said John Harris, brewmaster and owner of Ecliptic Brewing. “Now we are really excited to announce our first bottled beer, Filament Winter IPA, which is being released fresh off the bottling line today. Then next week, bottles of our collaboration with Cigar City are coming in and will be available for our fans. It’s an exciting season for Ecliptic Brewing.”

In addition to being available at the brewpub on 825 N. Cook St. in Portland, Ore., Filament Winter IPA is being distributed throughout Oregon and will be available in select locations in the coming week.

Illuminating the Path will only be available at the brewpub, and Harris has only 15 cases of the beer to sell. Ecliptic anticipates the beer selling out fast on the release date of December 16, 2013, at 5 p.m.
