It all begins in the kitchen with a simple idea — to bring back the taste of real beer. The first homebrewing experiments soon turn into a passion and a way of life.

With every new batch, it becomes clear that this is more than just a hobby — it’s a calling. The dream takes shape: to create a beer with soul and character.

Petya and Plamen give “Stara Sofia” its name, vision and foundation — a beer inspired by a time when everything was made by hand, with heart and respect for the craft. A few years later, fate brings us together with Petya.


A single sip of “Stara Sofia” becomes a turning point — more than a taste, it’s a story and a legacy. With gratitude to its founders, the journey continues with even greater care, character and attention to detail.
The story goes on — with new ideas, experiments and love for the city. Expect limited editions, new styles and small surprises. The classic remains, but the horizon keeps expanding.
