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.

On tap at Groundswell in Chula. Beer board & the bartender gave me a story about how the brand was local & is now in Wyoming, but the internet can't figure it out.
Mildly hazy pour.
Sharp, acidy, white grape punch, sweet pine with stronger floral & some annoying plastic note.
Itchy, low carb, a touch strong.
Didn't love it.

16oz can from Brewers Haven. Hazy yellow pour, fluffy white head. Light fruity aroma, some tropical notes. Taste brings a bit of citrus zest, oranges and grapefruit. Finish tails off pretty fast.

US Pint can from a Trader Joes, drank in Laguna Hills on 26th July 2025. Poured (twice) into an old Corsendonk stemmed tulip glass. Opaque yellow body, white affair on top. Grapefruit nose and initial taste. Other semi sour citrus fruits join in, but the grapefruit flavours overpower everything else.

16oz can from Brewers Haven. Near black pour, thin ring of brown head. Aroma is cinnamon, chocolate and chilis. Taste follows with some immediate sweetness, then heat from the peppers. Cocoa underlies the whole thing, backed up a nice layer of toasty malts. Peppers outshine the cinnamon here for sure.

Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is zesty with lots of orange, lactose and vanilla and mild peachy tones. Flavour is zest, oranges, lactose and vanilla with some slight tartness to it.
