If one looks up the dictionary for the word primordial, they will find something that sounds ancestral, prehistoric, and other terms to describe something as old as time. For the men and women of Mother Earth Brewing Company, Primordial represents a beer that remains prescient in the thoughts and memories of its crew and loyal customers. It’s also a beer that is making its return, once again, as we enter the homestretch of August. 

Brewed as greeter, to anyone who’s ever visited or indulged in a can or pint of Mother Earth beer, Primordial Imperial India Pale Ale, remains a beer which has birthed many progeny from the man wombs secure in the brewery. If you’ve heard of Big Mother, released in the Spring, then you know the influence this beer has. 

But like all things, you grow with the times, lest you become, well, history. 

Recognizing this Mother Earth’s Marketing ‘wizard’, Kamron Khannakhjavani, had this to share regarding the upgrades to Primordial. 

Craft beer drinkers’ often express variety in their tastes through their purchasing decisions, so going into a release we are always looking at what is popular or inspiring and then making adjustments to existing recipes accordingly. Availability of certain hops is also a consideration and often the main driver for a recipe change in a style like this.” 

In technical terms, Primordial will incorporate more citrus hops, and an updated malt bill to include wheat and oats. The result is a beer that will have a bigger body and head retention, resulting in a joyful IIPA, without increasing the amount of malt needed. Besides ingredients, Brewery ‘god’ Chris Baker, is changing things up by using hops in the “hot” and “cold” sides, resulting in a beer that hopped on its way to the fermenter, and dry-hopped in the fermenter. As Chris puts it. 

Reinventing a brand like primordial is more than just changing the color or just throwing in a different hop varietal. There is a lot that goes into it.

Available in draft and 16-ounce, four packs, look for Mother Earth’s retooled Primordial Imperial IPA, this week. If you aren’t sure where to go, visit findmotherearthbrewing.com, for more information.

With label art by Michael Gustus, Mother Earth Brewing releases their latest Project-X series Hazy IPA, Head Case.

“Combining modern hopping techniques along with the right yeast strain is critical to achieving the right balance of juicy-meets-clean. Head Case is the first beer we’ve brewed to feature our new crop year of Citra and Galaxy, which are showing really strong aromatics, especially in the tropical and stone fruit categories. In order to take advantage of this, we use hops in almost every part of the hot and cold side, including whirlpool, intra-fermentation, and dry-hop additions. Then, of course, our house ‘Juice’ yeast strain is used to give the beer a nice full body while not being overly sweet like some can be.

-Daniel Love – President, Mother Earth Brew Co.

Mother Earth Brewing releasing a new Project-X Series IPA, New Horizons, and a 4Seasons Imperial IPA with Bale Breaker Brewing.

“New Horizons and Four Seasons [Summer] are such different beers. While New Horizons leans  on a pillowy body and a soft, drinkable impression, the collab DIPA is much more intense, with  an additional 45 IBUs to go along with a more robust hop profile that’s led by notes of sweet  fruit and grapefruit pith. It’s fun to have them out at the same time to give folks a choice on what  kind of experience they want to have.”

Mother Earth Brewing and artist Gabo Zeta collaborate to release the latest Project-X Series IPA, Hop Monster.

“We’ve been having a lot of fun with these Southern Hemisphere varietals lately. The  sweet/tropical/stone fruit characteristics really lend themselves well to the style. The increased  bitterness also helps to balance that perceived sweetness. We typically don’t use lactose in our  hazy beers, which is often done to assist with haze stability and to increase body, but we’ve  found that we can achieve those qualities through brewing methods rather than loading the beer  with adjuncts. The result is a medium to full bodied beer with tons of hop aroma and flavor but  without the cloying sweetness.”

With notes of "toffee candy and macadamia nuts", Mother Earth Brewing releases "Spring ’24 BBA Imperial Brown".

What that all distills down to, as it relates to their newest Spring release, is a decadent chocolatey  Bourbon Barrel-aged Brown Ale with a big body and a sweet finish, with notes of toffee candy  and macadamia nuts. The base beer would be complex enough on its own, but in the spirit of the  Four Seasons program, Mother Earth’s brewers had to take it up a notch further. Overall, Spring  is ...
