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.

Bottle from Ales By Mail; clear copper pour with a frothy beige head, aroma has freshly mown grass and assertive pine, taste is like a pine cone party, very pine forward with a backbone action consisting mostly of pine, imagine being hit with a Christmas tree and the baubles are mangos, the IUB’s are coming in strong, a pheasant experience.

Golden with a white head - Fruity hop aroma - Good malt body to support a good hop profile that has citrus and hints of pine with a nice bitterness - Hops and some bitternes in the finish - This was nice

Golden with a white head - Sweet wood and vanilla aroma with hints of malt - Some malt flavours, but it is very sweet with vanilla and wood - wood and sweet vanilla goes into the finish with some alcohol heat - This was very sweet from the barrel and there is some alcohol heat there as well, probably better without the barrel treatment

Bottle. Clear amber liquid with medium white head. Aroma of plastic, rubber, hard bread, light citrus, earth and burnt electronics. Taste is dry and light to medium bitter with notes of light citrus, plastic and husky grain. Medium bodied with low carbonation. Either really tired or extremely phenolic. Meh.

This beer is a clear pale straw-gold color with a medium fluffy white head that recedes steadily. Small patches of lacing on the glass. Aroma of vanilla, wheat and grain. Light-bodied with flavors of sweet vanilla, biscuit malt and wheat. Slight hops here and there as well. The finish is malty with a vanilla aftertaste. Decent overall.
