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.

Gold with a frothy, white head. Fairly simple citrus aroma with a mild dankness. Taste is moderate bitter with a crisp, dry finish. Medium-bodied, moderate carbonation. Unremarkable. Decent.

Draught at Charred, 2/11/23. Clear-ish, peachy-golden. Medium-sized, off-white head, moderate retention. Yellow fruits mixing with citrus and light pine. Lots of biscuit and white bread with a pinch of sourdough and sweaty hop. Pretty good sweet-bitter balance, perceived in the nose. Not resinous or boozey. Clean. Soft, malty, at first somewhat rather uncomplex. Just peach-apricot-pine-orange, but gaining more delicate fruitiness and with biscuit and vanilla. Pine and citrus on the end, not too heavily. Good, easy drinking but with assertive flavors. Like a new-school, well-done WC IPA.
