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.

Draft at Boise taproom. Dark brown pour, ring of beige head with a few wispy strands. Aroma is heavenly, robust blend of maple and pecans. Taste doesn't relent, sweet, sugary flavors with a rich nutty accent. Mild heat. Lovely all the way through.

Crisp and pretty clear golden and copper coloured body with a thinnish, just off-white head. Aroma of some light citrus fruits with a lot of earthy and biscuity malts and some relatively subdued alpha acid bitterness noticeable in the nose. Medium-bodied; Strong citrusey and stone fruity flavours dominate up front with a good balance of malts here and a crisp bitterness which is stronger than most of the newer school IPAs, but still much less than a 'real' West Coast IPA. Aftertaste shows the fruits as well with some more stone fruits and some grassy, floral notes towards the finish, with a good layering of the malts and some soft subdued sugars at the finish. Overall, a pretty nice and relatively straight forward IPA with a good structure and some moderate fruit notes, but no real bitterness throughout. Great to have, especially super fresh! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Trader Joe's in San Francisco (North Beach), California on 29-August-2022 a few hours ago for US$3,25 sampled on the streets of San Francisco, California on 29-August-2022 the following day.

Pint can. Pours a glowing orange color with a large white head. Citrus and floral aroma, followed by a fruity sweet and moderately bitter finish. A little bit dank.

Can from Brix Bottle Shop in Kalispell, MT. Pours a dark brown-black color with a thick tan head and good retention. A little nitro-like action. No lacing. Strong coffee-forward aroma. The flavor is also coffee-forward. The added vanilla and lactose helps, but still too much coffee flavor for my palate. Medium body, but thin mouthfeel for the style. Low carbonation and low bitterness.
