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.

32oz crowler pours with a deep dark body that supports a thin light colored mocha colored head of foam. The aroma offers up thin dark roasted malts, vanilla and black licorice mingling behind an inviting load of chocolate fudge. The taste initially delivers thin sweet malts and black licorice wrapped around chocolate fudge yum. Wow. This is nice. To midway muted dark roasted malts and vanilla add more facets to the experience. Solid sipper.
