The name Ecliptic Brewing unites John’s two passions: brewing and astronomy. The ecliptic is the yearly path around the sun on planet Earth. We celebrate this journey through the seasons from the centerpiece to our pub, a massive light fixture in the shape of the Analemma, to beer and food menus in constant change and rotation throughout the year. Our seasonal menu will rotate every 6 weeks on the old world calendar.
