Ecliptic Brewing to Release Moon Room Series: Helles Lager / Moon Room Series Schwarzbier Lager

From Ecliptic:

Portland, Oregon. Earth. (July 6, 2022)- Ecliptic Brewing is announcing the next release in their new Moon Room Series: Helles Lager. Shipping July 13^th in 16-ounce can four-packs and draft, this is the sixth release in the series. The Moon Room Series features a collection of lager beer in celebration of Ecliptic opening its second location – The Moon Room – which is well setup for lagering.

Helles, which means “pale or bright”, is a traditional German beer with subtle sweetness. Finishing clean and crisp, Ecliptic’s version of the style is brewed with Noble hops, including Hallertau Mittelfruh, Tettnang, and Saaz. Ecliptic’s Owner and Brewmaster, John Harris, says “We thought a Helles for July was the perfect idea. Bright and crisp- perfect for a summer day.” Moon Room Series: Helles is an easy drinking beverage at 5.1% ABV.

Moon Room Series: Helles Lager will be released in both draft and 16-ounce cans throughout Ecliptic Brewing’s distribution network beginning July 13^th. Visit Ecliptic’s website for up-to-date details on potential release events.
