As was announced last summer, Eclipse Brewing at 25 E. Park Avenue in Merchantville changed hands. Former owner Chris Mattern and his wife Beth decided it was time to close the brewery chapter and pass the tap to new owner Megan Hilbert.
After many months of waiting for the brewery license transfer, it finally happened just three days ago, leading the way for the brewery to reopen under Megan’s ownership.
But before they open the doors to a beautifully remodeled space, they need to brew some beer, which started in earnest yesterday with the first brew of 2026 Citra Promise.
And now they have announced when we can all enjoy those Eclipse brews again. They promise to keep many of the favorites on the menu, plus introduce some new ones.
See you there!
