We’re pleased to announce the release of Sophie, a 4.2% hazy pale ale brewed
for International Women’s Day, with 50% of profits donated to Spark The Noise, an
award-winning charity working at the intersection of gender justice and the music industry,
amplifying the voices of girls, women, trans, non-binary, and gender non-conforming people
through music-making and community building.

Sophie was designed and brewed by the women of Mondo and inspired by the life and artistry
of SOPHIE, championing women and non-binary musicians, music lovers and hospitality
workers both near and far with artwork by Nina Sweeney.

THE LAUNCH PARTY AT MC & SONS IN VAUXHALL
Sophie will launch on Thursday 5th March from 6PM at Mc & Sons in Vauxhall,
bringing together London’s hospitality, music and brewing communities for an evening of beer,
fundraising and celebration.

On the night, Sophie will be pouring fresh on draught from 6PM, with a charity raffle running
throughout the evening – guests can donate directly to the chosen charity, show proof of
donation, and receive raffle tickets for the chance to win exciting prizes. From 9PM, live music
will take over, turning the launch into a full celebration of the communities the beer was brewed
to support.

Guests who book in advance with Mondo will receive a complimentary pint of Mondo beer on
arrival. To secure your free pint, please RSVP by emailing [email protected].

Managed by Cambridge, Mc & Sons has long supported Mondo, consistently pouring Dennis
Hopp’r on tap and championing independent, local brewing. Their local sister pub, Molly Mc’s
will also have Sophie on their taps this March under the leadership of manager Ciara.

LOCATION: Mc & Sons Vauxhall, 355 Kennington Ln, London SE11 5QY

A GROWING COMMUNITY TRADITION
Over the past few years, our International Women’s Day charity beer launches have

London’s brewing, hospitality, and music scenes.

CAN’T MAKE THE LAUNCH PARTY?
Fret not, We’ll be teaming up with Effra Social in Brixton before their Pub Quiz on Tuesday
10th March 2026 from 6pm, giving out pints in celebration and taking donations to Spark The
Noise in exchange for raffle tickets for more fun prizes.

SOPHIE TASTING NOTES
SOPHIE is a 4.2% hazy pale ale, brewed to be smooth, soft, and refreshing, with a modern
haze, gentle bitterness, and vibrant hop aroma. The beer is designed for approachability and
repeat enjoyment, focusing on drinkability while delivering the juicy aromatics and pillowy
texture expected of a contemporary hazy pale.

The release has been brewed specifically for International Women’s Day and will be available
exclusively in 30L kegs for trade. This is a strictly limited run. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.
