Description
SOBREMESA Drinks is a multidisciplinary enterprise creating terroir-driven farmhouse beers and natural ciders as well as growing organic soft fruits to flavour the drinks. We started our cider adventure in 2021 and pressed our first batch at Lower Porthamel in 2022. In January 2022 we planted one acre of organic soft fruits at Racquety Farm, Hay-on-Wye. Our beer journey actually started ten years ago, and has taken us from Wales to Spain and back again, bringing together the best of both worlds.

The main goal for SOBREMESA Drinks in the long term is to play a part in changing the current food system, by making drinks in a more sustainable way that prioritises short supply chains, local produce and the Welsh terroir.

We ferment our beers and ciders in a converted barn at Lower Porthamel, a working farm where grass fed livestock roam on the pastures.

440ml can from Sobremesa. Pours an unclear pale yellow, rocky white head. Aroma is earthy, yeasty, lightly floral. Taste continues along these lines, earthy farmhouse malt feel with cereal grain and soft nutty shades. Nicely refreshing.

75cl bottle from Sobremesa. Produces a good orange complexion in the glass.. earthy woody shades compliment a rosy fruitiness. Soft tannin on the close. Nice introduction to this apple variety.
