What can I say about them, they are always mindful of their customers. They add good free shows, food trucks, in-service food on occasion too. We haven't even mentioned their home brewed beer yet! Pricing is great, selection of beer rotates and they now can can your beer to go, improving the life of it until you get time t o enjoy it. Only real question is, why haven't you been yet?

My son and I have stopped in several times and have yet to find a beer we don’t enjoy. We are not fans of typical IPA’s, but Missouri Beer Company manages to get all the flavor of a good IPA without the bitterness. The same goes for their stouts, great beer without the bitterness. Bring a 4 pack of Kolsch home or maybe a growler of your favorite.

The tour guides are awesome, knowledgeable and passionate about the brewery. We had a great time on the tour, just long enough to explain the process but not boring. The tasting room is laid out well for quick service and all of the beer choices are well marked so you can choose what you like best. Perfect for an afternoon!

Had pumpkin ale, oatmeal stout, merry berry and Kolsh to drink. The food was also very good, had cheese and ham platter. Went there twice as it was a good place to go, quite busy and the drinks were great.

Springfield, Missouri isn’t necessarily a place that quickly comes to mind when you think of a craft beer city. But any craft beer fan in the Midwest or nearby knows there is one craft brewery that calls Springfield home that is widely known in craft beer circles. That brewery is Mother’s Brewing. I have been drinking and enjoying Mother’s Brewing beer for quite a few years but had never visited the brewery until recently. I was on vacation in Branson and knowing that Springfield was a short drive away, I decided that this was my chance. I headed north and made my way to Grant street, ready to try beer and see what Mothers Brewing was like in person. Mother’s Brewing has a large outdoor space and from what I learned, they host several outdoor events in this area each year. Even when there is no event taking place, it is still common to find food trucks onsite and happy drinkers converging outside while they sip their beers. I also learned that anyone can visit the brewery, you only need to be 21 and up to drink. This means that, yes, you can bring the family along while you do a tasting. Moving to the inside of the brewery, guests will discover that Mother’s Brewing has brewery tours every Saturday and a nice tasting room space where you can order a large serving of your favorite beer or a sampler flight. Look above the bar and you will see small plaques indicating which beers are available at that time. If certain beers have sold out, they will remove the plaque. The small plaques indicate the beer name, style, alcohol level, and price. I like that the price is clearly shown, since this is something often lacking at other breweries. Mother’s Brewing serves its core lineup of beers like Mothers Little Helper, Three Blind Mice, and others and you are almost certain to find them on tap. I recommend asking for one or more of the harder to find beers when you visit. There are some real gems to be discovered here and you can often get them only at the brewery, so take advantage if you get the chance. Oh, and as far as the bar goes, I do need to make mention of the steel construction with the large, imposing Mother’s Brewing logo. It is very cool, indeed! Mother’s Brewing has been serving up fine craft beer for a long time and I’m happy that I took the time to pay a visit to this Springfield brewery. The large outdoor space is more than you would find at most breweries and I surmise that it’s a happening place when they hold an event. But even if there is no event taking place, a visit to the taproom is a must for craft beer fans. One taste of these beers and you will understand why Mother’s Brewing is one of Missouri’s best- known and most beloved purveyors of the craft.
