Co-hosted with Tomfoolery Outdoors, which specializes in bringing adventurous games and activities to adults, it fits into Mother’s vision of setting itself apart in Springfield.
“We’re trying to do some outside-the-box stuff and this will be interesting,” said Kevin Loftis, co-owner of Mother Stewart’s.
Part of the fun will be the variety of activities, most of which are free. The brewery will be open at noon on Saturday and activities will go until closing time at 11 p.m. with yard games, a camping expo, competitions, food trucks and live entertainment among the options.

A few other events off the grounds will be offered before the event and throughout the day.
Mother’s will introduce new beers including:
- Weekend Warrior, a light post-adventure brew
- Imperial DeBubba, an Imperial IPA
- Gringo Star, a tequila barrel-aged wit
For a fee, camping enthusiasts can stay overnight at the Brewery in tents, on hammocks or on the floor. It will include an after-hours pizza party, beer fairy visit and live music, followed by a pancake breakfast by Chris Cakes Ohio in the morning.
