Portland, OR Earth. (November 17, 2022)- This fall Ecliptic Brewing will release the last beer in their Moon Room Series- a Schwarzbier. The series features a collection of lager beer in celebration of Ecliptic opening its second location – The Moon Room – which is well setup for lagering. The final release in this series will ship November 23^rd in 16-ounce can four-packs and draft.

Ecliptic’s Schwarzbier is brewed with a variety of malts, including Munich and Victory, and is hopped with Hallertau Tradition and Northern Brewer. Though dark, this beer is smooth and easy drinking, clocking in at 4.5% ABV and 20 IBU. Says Ecliptic’s Owner and Brewmaster, John Harris, “Sometimes these beers are known as ‘Black Pilsners.’ They have a crisp finish like other lager styles, but they also have that dark beer flavor.”

Moon Room Series: Schwarzbier will be released in both draft and 16-ounce cans throughout Ecliptic Brewing’s distribution network beginning November 23^rd. Visit Ecliptic’s website for up-to-date details on potential release events.
