Somer Valley Brewing is not your average craft brewery. Located in the picturesque Somerset countryside, it is part of Somer Valley Farms, a sustainability-focused venture that emphasizes traditional farming practices.
At this brewery, beer is more than just made – it is cultivated. Barley is grown on-site using regenerative methods, malted nearby in Warminster, and brewed with water sourced from the farm’s borehole.
To showcase this unique farm-to-pint approach, the brewery underwent a rebranding led by Supple Studio and Studio Spilsbury. The new identity highlights the farm’s role in the brewing process through homegrown textures, charming illustrations, and evocative beer names.
The refreshed logo symbolizes the farm’s commitment to soil health and sustainable agriculture, while the visual identity incorporates real-world textures like hay bales and fence posts. The color palette is inspired by the farm’s surroundings, ensuring a grounded connection to its origins.
Renowned illustrator Simon Spilsbury created playful illustrations that bring the brand to life, reflecting the farm’s charm and personality. The beer names, such as Snug, Rolling Hills, Bolt, and Hayes, are inspired by the rural landscape and brewing process, providing a rich storytelling element for Spilsbury’s artwork.
