What Kind of Beer Does Your Mom Drink? Primary Image

“Mama’s Little Yella Pils, of course. Reminds me of the Rolling Stones song, "Mama’s Little Helper.” — Chad Melis of Oskar Blues Brewery in Longmont, Colorado

“Weizen, because my Mom likes a full bodied beer with low alcohol and low bitterness.” — Scott Jennings, head brewer at Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. in Mills River, North Carolina

“My mom likes lambics, imperial IPAs, imperial stouts. Basically anything crazy she likes, and she tends not to drink any light beer.” — Don Chapman, president at Grimm Bros. Brewhouse in Loveland, Colorado

"My mom's favorite beer (thank goodness) is one of my beers—my organic Chocolate Stout. It's a style that appeals not only to craft beer geeks, but to those who love red wine and coffee. I've been brewing it for more than seventeen years, and my mom has always been its biggest fan." — Dan Del Grade, owner and brewmaster at Bison Brewing in Berkeley, California

“My Mom used to like cream ale when I was small, but now she sticks mostly to pale ale.” — Abe Kabakoff, head R&D pilot brewer at Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. in Chico, California

“Mom loves [Belgian-style] beers, like Duvel and Le Merle from North Coast.” —Dana Robles, brewer at Ninkasi Brewing Company in Eugene, Oregon

“My mom, Liz, loves red wine! Therefore, the beer she's had that's closest to her favorite drink would be Epic Brewing's “Brainless on Cherries,” a Belgian Golden aged in Cabernet and Syrah barrels, also with Cherry purée added.”— Kim Collins, head brewer at Barrels and Bottles Brewery in Golden, Colorado

Cheers to your mom! Buy her a pint or two this weekend.
