Mother Earth Brewing Tierra Madre Lager

Vienna malt and corn give its malt profile just enough body to stand apart from mass-produced lagers, while authentic lager yeast and cold fermentation keep it dry, crisp and snappy at 20 IBUs. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

Vista's Answer to the Mexican Lager
Mother Earth Brew Co. has been brewing in Vista, in San Diego's North County, since 2010, and Tierra Madre — "Mother Earth" in Spanish — is its love letter to the crisp lagers from south of the border. The Vienna malt brings a gentle richness, the corn keeps it light, and cold fermentation delivers the dry, even-keeled finish that makes it a beer for all reasons, in the brewery's own words. Stock up from our craft beer and beer collections, or see the brewery on the Mother Earth vendor page.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Light, spicy-floral hops over a hint of malt. Palate: Light pils-style malt and pleasant corn sweetness under moderately light spicy, herbal hops. Finish: Dry with a light bitterness — crisp and snappy.
