Simon Spilsbury x Somer Valley

12 October 2026

We’re used to witnessing the magic that happens when Simon pulls a sketchbook and pen from his satchel, but wood-rubbings and tractor tyres are a step up. Drink in this quenching new branding project from our man in bath.

"I brought in Supple Studio for the deliverables and we set out to brand 30 Somer Valley craft beers, taking on board their farm-first approach to brewing and sustainability-led venture. The bore hole is on the farm, the barley is grown on the farm, the cows fertilise the fields. All we needed were some playful drawings and some great design. We used the farm to get the background textures (see pics), a bit of yokel name-generation and some quirky,  memorable characters and off to print. The results are all over the West Country, partnered with Beefy Boys Burger joints and creating collabs with breweries as far away as NZ. Oh, and we won a Brand Impact Awards Silver."
