Portland, OR Earth. (April 6, 2022)- Ecliptic Brewing is proud to announce the next beer in their Vega IPA Series, which is an official Pink Boots Collaboration (PBC). Vega IPA #13 will begin shipping today in draft and 16-ounce can four-packs.
Last month, Ecliptic Brewing registered to be an official Pink Boots Collaboration Brew Day partner, in honor of International Women’s Day. As explained on their website, “Pink Boots Society was created to assist, inspire and encourage women and/or non-binary individuals in the fermented and alcoholic beverage industry to advance their careers through education.”
Ecliptic’s special PBC release is Vega IPA #13, which features Yakima Chief Hops 2022 Pink Boots Blend.

The beer is hopped exclusively with the blend and is both floral and fruity. Finishing clean and dry, Vega IPA #13 showcases bright melon and orange notes.
Ecliptic Brewing will donate $1 per pint sold of this beer to Pink Boots Society. The cans are adorned with a pink sticker to indicate this version of Vega IPA, and the PakTechs will also feature a PBC sticker. Vega IPA #13 will be available throughout Ecliptic Brewing’s distribution network in both draft and 16-ounce cans, starting April 6th.
About the Vega IPA Series
Vega IPA is an experimental hop playground for our curious and creative brewers to continuously source new and unique hops. Exploring the boundaries of the IPA style, the result is a fresh and distinctly different IPA with each new release. The batch # of this Vega IPA rotation is on the sticker, printed on the bottom of the can and on the keg collar.
