Description
Driving on a dark stretch of two lane road, the Marquess family headed into the final stretch of their journey home. Pondering how to better live their creed of 'finding joy in the adventure,' they came up with a plan to join their passions of craft beer, travel, Arizona and the enjoyment of life. Founded, was Mother Road Brewing Company.
The Mother Road was the moniker given to U.S. Highway 66 by Grapes of Wrath author John Steinbeck, as he shared the story of the fictional Joad family, who traveled the road in hopes of trading desperation and heartache for hope and new beginnings. The Mother Road Brewery now resides along a lost portion of the storied highway, symbolizing both the journey we’ve made and our passion for craft beer, motoring and history.

12oz bottle pours clear copper with a thin light tan head of foam. The aroma is kind of malty sweet, perfume counter fragrance and then vague citrus hoppiness. The taste has malt sweetness running headlong into a mix of bitter floral hops and lime like citrus hops. The hops get to a pleasing level of resiny bitterness and getting perfumy into the after taste. Decent enough, I’d drink it again thanks to the balance and hoppiness it has attained.
