I did a search for a Mother’s Day beer recommendation and I didn’t find a whole lot. What I did find was actually a little surprising - an Oregon brewery which has designated it’s newest doppelbock a mother’s day beer. Without being all too sexist about it, I don’t really think of a mother when I think doppelbock, in fact I think of large Bavarian men in Lederhosen. I also think of March or April, since that’s the traditional time of year for these strong, high alcohol beers. Finally, my wife (and resident mother) doesn’t care for them, which is probably the most important reason of all.

Here are my five Mother’s Day beer choices, for no particular reason:
1. Ephémére, an ale brewed with a hint of apple
2. Harp, because my wife likes it
3. Chimay white label
4. Stoudt’s Scarlet Lady Ale
5. Left Hand’s Milk Stout

Magic Hat’s Mother Lager is now discontinued, so it can’t make the list. What is your favorite mother drinking for Mother’s Day?
