Name of Beer: Three Blind Mice |
Beer Style: Brown Ale |
Description: Three dark ale traditions get a dose of Mother’s love. A dry finish and medium body doesn’t mean we skimp on robust, roasty malt character. This is an eminently drinkable brown ale for downtime or nights downtown. 6 pack bottles |

Name of Beer: Uncanny |
Beer Style: Pale Ale |
Description: Bored with the ordinary American pale ale? Sink your teeth into Uncanny, a pale ale with bite. Bold American and German hop flavor inspires bar-slapping monologues, creek-side strutting, and competition worthy barbecue. So crisp, so clean, so drinkable…it’s uncanny. 6 pack bottles |

Brewery: Mother's |
Name of Beer: Towhead |
Beer Style: Blonde Ale |
Description: Mother’s little blonde baby could have only been conceived in Springfield. A crisp and easy-drinking riff on the classic Kolsch ale that respects its German bloodline while holding its chin high as an American original. 6 pack bottles |

Brewery: Mother's |
Name of Beer: Snapback |
Beer Style: IPA |
Description: Whether you're pounding the pavement pub crawl style or holding court on the front porch, here's an IPA that fits as well as your favorite cap. Dry and drinkable, Snapback IPA bursts from the bottle with a riot of resinous and citrusy hop aromas, with just enough malt character to deliver an assertively hop-forward tongue lashing. Wipe the tears of joy from your eyes and take another drink. 4 pack cans |

Brewery: Mother's |
Name of Beer: Sunshine Chugsuckle |
Beer Style: New England Style IPA |
Description: Don't like IPAs? Prepare for Mother's to change your mind. This New England style IPA shines a ray of pure sunshine on hop aroma and flavor, with minimal hop bitterness. Sunshine Chugsuckle features intense dank, resiny, and citrus aroma and flavor with a full, creamy mouthfeel. For all the over the top flavor, Chugsuckle possesses an unparalleled drinkability. Grab a glass. You can suckle if you want, but we bet you're gonna chug. 4 pack bottles |

Status: New! |
Brewery: Mother's |
Name of Beer: Trop Top |
Beer Style: Pale Ale |
Description: This tropical Pale Ale is bursting with aromas of passionfruit, guava, and citrus. Heavily hopped with Citra and Mosaic late in the whirlpool and in the dry hop, this refreshing pale has a big fruity hop punch with a very restrained bitterness. The malt body is light with a mild sweetness to round out this juicy, tropical fruity pale. 6 pack bottles |

Status: New! |
Brewery: Mother's |
Name of Beer: Winter Grind |
Beer Style: Coffee Stout |
Description: Who needs subtlety when you have caffeine? Coffee in the nose, coffee in the flavor, coffee in the finish, all supported by an English dry stout. 1.5 lbs of roasted-to-order espresso beans from Mudhouse Coffee per barrel deliver a coffee stout for slaves to the bean and the barley. 6 pack bottles |

Status: Limited |
Brewery: Mother's |
Name of Beer: Rum Barrel MILF |
Beer Style: Imperial Stout |
Description: Best served under blankets in the middle of nowhere watching a meteor shower, waiting for that sous vide steak to finish, tempering the pain of a brand new tattoo, seeking satori sip by sip, expounding, unsolicited, on the meaning of life, delivering Hamlet's 'to be, or not to be' soliloquy, and explaining how you lost your wedding ring. 22 ounce bottle |

Status: Limited |
Brewery: Breckenridge |
Name of Beer: Imperial Vanilla Porter Aged in Rum Barrels |
Beer Style: Imperial Porter |
Description: In a stronger rendition of our renowned recipe, the Imperial Vanilla Porter is the latest creation coming from the beloved barrel room on Brewery Lane. Powerfully robust flavors and a strong alcohol content define its distinguished imperial nature. Relaxing in rum barrels for 55 days, the beer soaks in both the subtle sweetness of rum and the savory vanilla flavors from fresh bundles of Madagascar vanilla beans. Roasty aromas make way to a smooth, rounded decadence that gives you pure luxury in a bottle. 750 ml bottle |
