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.

US Pint can from a Trader Joe's, drank in my daughters garden (Laguna Hills) on 17th March 2026. Poured into a straight sided sleeve glass. Cloudy yellow body, snow white crown on top. Citrus lead, middle and finish, liked the hop blend, and the ABV helped to make it a pleasant late afternoon sunshine beer.

Can from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours dirty hazy gold with a large foamy white head. Aroma of citrus, onion/garlic, lychee, and more. Med body. It's juicy with smooth carbonation. Not very sweet. Just enough bitter to balance. Flavor is more or less the aroma with some prickles suggesting passionfruit. Nice drink.

Pint can. Passion fruit aroma with notes of mango, white grape, berry, kiwi and grapefruit. Pours clear golden colored with a half a finger of white head that has excellent retention and some soapy lacing. Starts with juicy passion fruit, mango and berry flavors. Finishes dry but still smooth with white grape, kiwi and grapefruit citrus flavors. Pretty nice IPA.

16 oz can. Aroma is gummy peach rings, dank, sex, B.O., cannabis, crackery malt. Pours hazy golden with a half finger bone-white head that settles into a ring fairly quickly. Taste has a mild building to moderate pithy bitterness and very little sweetness. Flavors like the aroma along with some prominent pine notes. Very drying. Really well put together and tasty.

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.

On tap at Mother Earth, pours jet black with a small tan head. Aroma is full of smokiness, dry malts, bourbon barrels, and some earthiness. Flavour is dry, with lots of smoky peated bourbon barrels, light vanilla, and dry malts. Smoky, dry, woody finish. Very good.
