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 Mother Earth Downtown. Dark brown pour, spotty tan head, foamy ring. Roasty, sweet aroma, notes of coffee. Taste starts with some chocolate, sugary, light coffee and just a hint of coconut. Nice textures with some mild lingering bitterness

Nitro pour at Mother Earth Downtown. Milky pour settles to a thick, creamy head, thick rings of lacing. Light vanilla aroma, sweet. Taste starts with the vanilla, some biscuity notes, all wrapped up in a dense, creamy body. Way to easy to drink this pint.

16oz can from Brewers Haven. Clear golden pour, frothy head fades. Aroma is pumpkin, then a little vanilla. Taste brings hints of pumpkin pie spice, but mostly focused on the pumpkin flavors accented by a touch of vanilla.
