Beer to look forward to.
"If you're going to have one, make it something worth having."
Yonder is a modern independent brewery.
Crafting flavour-first beers in Somerset with colour, character and a serious sense of fun.
'Beer to look forward to' is our belief that if you're going to have one, it should be worth having. Something brewed with care, driven by creativity and full of flavour. Premium, but never pretentious. Special, but always approachable.
Flavour comes first.
We love bold ideas, nostalgic flavours, strange little characters and beers that make you smile before you've even opened the can. But every recipe begins the same way: Make it taste brilliant.
That means balance. Drinkability. Acidity that lifts rather than shouts. Sweetness with purpose. Fruit that tastes like fruit! Stouts that deliver on the promise. Pale ales, IPAs and lagers you can actually settle into.
Fresh raspberries.
Nan's lemon drizzle.
Beach day ice creams.
Legendary cocktails.
A childhood sweet.
Inspiration can come from anywhere.
We're probably best known for our fruit beers, sour beers and pastry stouts, but Yonder has never been about one single style.
Our beers move between everyday favourites and small-batch specials. Some are bright, tart and packed with fruit. Some are soft, hoppy and easy-going. Some lean into dessert with absolutely no shame. Some are here for a season. Some stick around because people keep asking for them.
Born in Somerset. Built on curiosity.
Yonder was founded in 2018 by Stuart Winstone and Jasper Tupman, two friends and former colleagues who met at the hugely influential Wild Beer Co.
We learned beer from the ground up: brewing, blending, cleaning, packing, problem-solving and grafting. The glamorous stuff, obviously. Before the shiny tanks arrived, we were brewing 100 litres at a time and filling oak barrels at our rural brewery near the Mendip Hills in Somerset. Those early beers, including our solera-style mixed fermentation beer Loop, taught us the value of balance, patience and flavour. Yonder has grown a lot since those first barrels, but the same instinct still guides every beer we brew: find the flavour, understand the balance, then make it something worth drinking.
Playful by nature. Serious about beer.
We think beer is better when it has a bit of life in it. A little theatre. A bit of anticipation. A reason to pick it up in the first place.
But behind the colour and characters is a small team making the best beer we can with the kit, space and time we have. Recipe development, fermentation, quality, balance, packaging, logistics, sales, design and customer service all sit close together here.
A few things we're proud of.
