Support Maui with Ecliptic + Maui Bay Breeze Pineapple IPA

Portland, Oregon. Earth. (August 18, 2023) – Ecliptic Brewing and Hawaii’s Maui Brewing Co have been working together this year to create a Cosmic Collaboration beer: Ecliptic + Maui Bay Breeze Pineapple IPA. The beer is slated to ship August 23rd, both in 16-ounce cans and draft.

In view of the recent Maui wildfires, Ecliptic will be donating a portion of proceeds from every pint of Bay Breeze Pineapple IPA sold through their pubs and release events to Legacy of Aloha, as well as donating 10% of all restaurant sales on August 30th. Legacy of Aloha supports Maui Brewing employees who have lost their homes or been temporarily displaced. Any remaining funds will be given to accredited nonprofits working on the ground in Maui.⁠

“We were devastated to learn of the recent wildfires that have caused so much destruction and loss of life in Maui,” says John Harris, Ecliptic’s Owner and Brewmaster. “Garret Marrero [Maui’s Co-Founder] has been a huge leader in the relief efforts there currently, and we wanted to share some organizations Maui Brewing Company suggests donating to below.”

• Makai Foundation
• Legacy of Aloha
• Maui Brewing Co Fire Fund
• Kokua Project – for other breweries

Ecliptic + Maui Brewing Bay Breeze Pineapple IPA starts with a Pale Malt base and is hopped with Sabro, El Dorado and Chinook. A good dose of pineapple puree, along with delicate coconut bring a big tropical vibe to this easy drinking IPA, clocking in at 6.5% ABV.

Ecliptic + Maui Brewing Bay Breeze Pineapple IPA will be released in 16-ounce cans and draft throughout Ecliptic Brewing’s distribution network on August 23rd. Two benefit release events are planned as follows:

• Seattle release benefit event: August 29^th at Brewmaster’s Taproom. Ecliptic will donate a portion of proceeds from every pint of Bay Breeze Pineapple IPA sold to Legacy of Aloha, matched by Brewmaster’s Taproom.
• Portland release benefit event: August 30^th at Ecliptic Brewing Moon Room (5PM) and Belmont Station (6:30P). Ecliptic will donate a portion of proceeds from every pint of Bay Breeze Pineapple IPA sold to Legacy of Aloha, matched by Belmont Station. Additionally, Ecliptic will be donating 10% of their restaurant sales on August 30^th.
• Lastly, both Ecliptic locations will be drop off points for a supply drive for the Maui community through Stuff The Bus ecoShuttle. Please drop off supplies (clean blankets/towels, new underwear, menstrual products, diapers, formula, etc) at either location during open restaurant hours until August 20^th at 3pm.
