Vista, CA & Nampa, ID – November 1st, 2024. Mother Earth is welcoming the holidays with the release of their seasonal Autumn brew – part of their rotating specialty series, “The Four
Seasons of Mother Earth”.
Traditionally, Four Seasons (as it’s called for short), is a big, barrel-aged stout or barleywine for 3⁄4 of the program, with a collab filling in the warmer summer months, but Mother Earth deviated a bit this fall when the brewery elected to brew an Oak-Aged German Lager coming in at a modest 5.9% ABV. The label is the typical elaborate affair, showcasing the gorgeous, flowing aesthetic that the series has become known for, but the liquid impresses equally.
“Using virgin, medium-toast oak casks, we laid down our German Festbier just long enough to pick-up some mild oak tannins to balance notes of honey, toasted bread, and a touch of malt sweetness. The malt base consists of premium Pilsen with an all-German specialty blend of Vienna and Munich. Noble hop varietals lend an appropriate earthy and herbal characteristic to achieve total balance to a complex, yet highly drinkable lager.”
-Matt Waterson, Head Brewer – Mother Earth Brew Co.
