Mother's Brewing Company

The big bang of an idea that led to Mother's? Jeff Schrag realized the coasts weren't the only places to create flavorful craft beers. He knew we could brew perfection right in downtown Springfield, MO. After 15+ years helping build the community, Springfield's beloved carouser wanted to launch a midwest brewing company. He just needed the team to make it happen. Thankfully, serendipity did her thing and united people who became the Mother's family.

First, we needed an accomplished brewmaster. Enter Brian Allen, who moved to Springfield when his wife began teaching at Drury University. The timing was perfect, and Mother's found our magic man. Brian has produced award-winning craft beers, led other successful breweries, and has long served as a judge for the annual Great American Beer Festival. Today, he brews Mother's love by the barrel.
