Mother Earth Brew Co. Opens 2026 With Project X Series Hazy IPA: “Cause & Effect”

Vista, CA & Nampa, ID – January 29th, 2026 - Mother Earth Brew Co. is kicking off the new year with the release of Cause & Effect Hazy IPA, the first installment of 2026 in the brewery’s rotating Project X Series.

Brewed with Nelson Sauvin, Strata, Galaxy, and Mosaic hops, Cause & Effect delivers a saturated, fruit-forward profile layered with notes of white grape, passionfruit, peach, pineapple, mango, and citrus zest. A soft, pillowy body and low bitterness keep the focus on expressive aromatics and drinkability, creating a modern hazy IPA that’s both juicy and balanced. 

Like every Project X release, the beer pairs brewing experimentation with original artwork. This label was created in collaboration with illustrator @fivetimesno, whose glitchy designs feature fractured layers, digital distortion, and bursts of color that evoke motion and chain reactions — a visual nod to the idea that small inputs create big outcomes. The dynamic artwork mirrors the beer itself: energetic, layered, and impossible to ignore.

As the first Project X beer of the year, Cause & Effect sets the tone for what’s ahead — fresh ideas, big hop character, and continued collaborations that bring craft beer and art together in new ways.

“We are thrilled to be entering our 7th year of a program that started out as simply a creative outlet for our brew team. Clearly, the Project X Series has grown considerably since 2019, but it stays true to its original goal of collaboration and expression through beer and art, and 2026 will be no different.” 

Kamron Khannakhjavani - Director of Marketing, Mother Earth Brew Co.

Cause & Effect Hazy IPA will be available on draft and in cans at Mother Earth Brew Co. taprooms and throughout its distribution network beginning this weekend and throughout February. For more information, visit motherearthbrewco.com.
