Mother Earth Brewing was one of the first craft breweries in eastern North Carolina and an anchor of the Kinston downtown revival. The brewery occupies a restored brick building on Queen Street and produces a range of beers — its Endless River Kolsch and Weeping Willow Wit are widely distributed across the South.
The tasting room is open most afternoons and evenings, with a rooftop garden that overlooks downtown. Tours of the brewery are offered on weekends. The food trucks that park outside in the evenings provide most of the dinner options; the brewery does not have a kitchen.
