About the author

Sovina, is produced from traditional methods and developed solely with water, malt, hops and yeast. Regularly produces five types of beer, Amber, Helles, IPA, Stout and Weiss and limited editions, one for Christmas, Helles Bock in the spring and also a Sovina Vintage which is a type of beer that aged in a old cask of port wine, that besides the sensory experience is also a tribute to our wine culture.

Sovina beers are rigorously prepared according to traditional recipes, being enriched and refined by a laborious selection, that accompanies all stages of production since the discovery of the flavors and aromas of malt and hops to the brew. For the special editions are carefully selected and added spices and herbs in a creative and rigorous development process.
