Description
Founded in North San Diego County in 2010 by Daniel & Jon Love, and Kamron Khannakhjavani, what began as a hobby years earlier had formed into a business. Originally operating out of a 2200 sq. ft. industrial space, the business grew quickly thanks to thirsty patrons visiting the industrial, but homely, onsite tasting room and adjacent homebrew store. Brewhouse upgrades soon followed and in 2012, Mother Earth opened a large Tap House in the historic downtown Vista district. The relocation of the tap room allowed the company to expand its production spaces even further and over time additional square footage was added to nearly 28000 sq. ft. in total.
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.

16oz can from Hops & Bottles. Hazy golden pour with a small, frothy white head. Light citrusy aroma, juicy. Taste is very subtle, faint notes of grapefruit and pineapple. Despite the mellow flavors it does bring a nice zesty bite at the finish.

On tap at Here’s How. Foggy dull light orange pour. Full right white head quickly settling to a thin skin of fine bubbles. Big fresh pink grapefruit flavors. Full bodied and a nice lingering bitter. Some light husky grains malt as well in the after taste. Nice

16oz can from Tavour. Hazy golden pour, long lasting tight white head. Fruity aroma, tropical, tangy. Taste is zesty, grapefruit before being overtaken by tropical, ripe fruit with some mild stone fruit too. A bit of tangy bitterness remains.
