End of a chapter!

As many of you will know, we have some exciting news to share. Sobremesa Drinks is moving!

We are eternally grateful for what Talgarth has given us: a chance to build our business from a tiny seed of an idea in Adrián’s head, beautiful surroundings that made a hard job much easier, an opportunity to run a campsite (we couldn’t resist) and most of all an amazing community that has supported us through the good times and the bad.

The Tap Room quickly became our second home (complete of course with a Tap Room baby) and we feel privileged to have shared that space with our friends from Talgarth and further afield.

When we arrived to Lower Porthamel in 2021 we knew no one, and instead of feeling like outsiders to the rural world we were immediately welcomed. We are so lucky to have gained life long friends from our favourite place at the foot of the Black Mountains.

As the farm is being sold and we are quickly running out of space, we are in the process of relocating to another farm in order to continue our mission of building businesses in rural Wales, diversifying farms and crafting farmhouse beers and natural ciders.

Talgarth - it’s not an “adiós” but only a “hasta luego”!

Diolch am bopeth.

We cannot wait to show you what we have lined up for you in our new location 👀

Watch this space and we look forward to seeing you!

🌻🏕️Little Earth Fest 2024 🏕️🌻
.
Last weekend we attended Little Earth Project Fest in Suffolk. A beautiful location that truly demonstrates that rural businesses can compete with any project in big towns!
.
It was an absolute pleasure to be pouring and sharing our farmhouse beers and natural ciders with one of the most talented mixed ferm brewers in the country. It was a special event not only pouring for the people but also sharing with other brewers and cider makers. This is what it is all about: sharing passion with people that want to cross boundaries and offer a different perspective of the beer and cider world!
.
Many thanks to everyone who came and drank Sobremesa and especially to Dani and Tom for allowing us to be part of this and Ellie and the rest of the staff at the pub for your hard work and hospitality!

Long live to Stupid Sexy Suffolk! by @hoppy_basil

S O B R E M E S A - HAY FESTIVAL AT LARCHWOOD

Larchwood Studio will be home to our faves Trigg Food serving up brekkies and suppers for the duration of the festival. In a beautiful pairing alongside Billy and Emma Trigg will be the bar, stocked and run by the awesome Adrian and Alys of @sobremesa.drinks who grow soft fruit for cider making right here at the farm.

Adrian and Alys have also isolated their own unique farmhouse yeast from Racquety Farm itself and it has been identified by the National Collection of Yeast Cultures - how cool is that?!

The bar will be open from 5pm on the 24 26 27 30 and 31 May

PLEASE NOTE: Larchwood Studio is taken over for private functions on the evenings of the 25 May and the 1 June so we will be closed then. by @hoppy_basil

🍎Collab time | Kingston Black🍎
.
.
.
Last October we were hand harvesting these beautiful Kingston Black with our very good friend Kev from @monnowvalleycider
.
Collaborating in the cider industry is not as common as the craft brewing industry but we thought that collaborating with one of our local cider makers was a must!
.
The idea is simple: same apple variety handpicked on the same day by the same cider maker but wild fermented with no added sulphites in two different locations, Monnow Valley HQ and Sobremesa Drinks HQ
.
We want to showcase what each natural microflora can make with the same raw material and how it can impact the flavour development.
.
Both versions will be released in Spring 2024 at the Tap Room plus more deliciousness from Kev!

🚨 New release 🚨
.
.
.
🫐🍓 Raspberry Saison 🍓🫐
.
.
.
We are so excited to be releasing our first version of our fruit series today at @afoodfestival. We hand picked the raspberries last year at @racquetyfarm from our very first crop!
.
.
.
The raspberries were carbonic macerated during 6 weeks and then co-fermented with our Farmhouse Ale beer made with our very own strain of Rosalind yeast.
.
.
.
Also, to celebrate this achievement, we have partnered with @shepherdsicecream to create an ice cream version of the beer for the festival. Go and grab a delicious Raspberry Saison ice cream from their shop near the market before it goes! taken in Abergavenny, Monmouthshire by @hoppy_basil

🌱 Hop Walk 2023 @charlesfaram 🌱
.
.
.
Last Thursday we headed to Stocks Farm in Suckley, Worcester to visit a hop grower and see first hand how hops are harvested and processed before they are turned into the pints you drink!
The sun was shining and it was a fantastic day of sharing with other brewers but also learning from people like @markdredge
.
.
.
We are a brewery that only uses British hops in our brews. This allows us to create more sustainable drinks using the resources we have available in the locality, supporting UK farmers and then local communities. It is important to understand how and where we source our raw materials, as producers we have an incredible opportunity to make an impact on the way drinks are produced.
.
.
.
Plus, our Farmers Pale Ale brewed with Olicana, Jester and Harlequin was selected to showcase the beauty of British hops 💚
.
.
.
Thanks @charlesfaram for organising such an event and @stocksfarmhomebrewhops for opening their doors to give us the opportunity to see and understand how the hops are grown in the UK. taken in Suckley, Worcestershire, United Kingdom by @hoppy_basil

🥐The Angel Bakery🥖 | Tasting Saturday 26th September
.
.
.
We are excited to announce one of our new stockists in our local town. No introduction needed, @angelbakeryabergavenny started trading in 2016 directly from their bakery on Lower Castle Street in Abergavenny making long-fermented sourdough breads and pastries by hand using flour from British mills.
.
.
.
This Saturday 26th September we will be showcasing our farmhouse beers from 11:00 at their shop. Come and try our beers brewed with 100% British malts and hops and discover our project.
.
.
.
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.
