Established in 2010
In 2015 the company began development of a new, state-of-the-art 40,000 sq. ft. production facility in Nampa, Idaho. Featuring a 40 bbl multi-vessel brewhouse, and the capacity to produce over 100K bbls/yr, “Mother Earth – Nampa” went on-line in August of 2016 and through continuous upgrades and expansion rapidly became the largest brewery in the state of Idaho. As Mother Earth's second regional headquarters, Nampa supports most of the company's growth and produces beer for all markets outside Southern California. The original Vista brewery continues to provide draft and specialty offerings to its home market of Socal as well as creating unique one-off brews for visitors at its retail operations in North County San Diego. Mother Earth remains family owned and operated and has become a standard of success within the industry.

On tap at Mother Earth, pours a muddled deep dark brown, no head. Aroma is full of nutmeg and cinnamon upfront, backed by toasted malt, caramel, and blueberry and plum. Flavour is robust, with lots of cinnamon and nutmeg that work really well with the blueberry and plum. This sounds like a mess on paper but actually comes together well. Nice stuff.

On tap at Mother Earth, pours jet black with a small tan head. Aroma is full of spicy chili peppers—tons of cayenne in particular—with cocoa and gentle bourbon. Flavour has a nice malt backbone, with plenty of chilis, light cinnamon, cocoa, and bourbon. Really nice incorporation of then chilis and cinnamon. Not my kind of impie but this is done real well.
