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.

Can at BBT. Hoppy aroma and taste, malty notes, tons of vanilla, light citrus fruit. Medium body, hoppy and malty vanilla bitter finish. Not a good combo.

Beer Republic Advent leftover drunk while taste testing tomorrow's tiramisu. Dark brown, large brown head. Roasted nose,i can already smell the lactose. Creamy mouthfeel, sweet, just a hint of bitterness. Smooth coffee flavor, yeah it's really reminding me a cold brew coffee with a bit of cream added. Interesting mixture but I'd prefer it minus lactose. Overall a good coffee beer!

Can from Loz's Beer Republic Bier Adventskalender. Yet another one of the last beers from one of our Bier Adventkalenders. Consumed at home Thursday 22nd February 2024 listening to Riley & Coe on 6Music, we had Gnocchi with Feta, Basil and Cherry Tomatoes. Pours black with a mid sized beige coloured head. Milky coffee on the nose, there is a little vanilla here, Loz gets chocolate again I get more coffee. There is a little bit of tangy bitterness and roastiness, pretty good but the lactose is showing a bit.

Taster flight at Mother Earth. Bright, clear golden pour, wispy head, tons of lacing. Hoppy aroma, notes of pine first, then citrus. Taste comes in hoppy, astringent, oily. Like two IPAs battling for supremacy, and it's close, but not very friendly. Near miss.
