Visited 02/06/26.
No cask. Just a basic offering of Camden Hells and Beavertown Neck Oil on tap plus some beers by bottle.
Large sprawling venue at balcony level with plenty of seating for the many here to have breakfast ahead of their flights. The bar counter is a relatively small island with a boarded skirt separated from the rest of the "inside" boarded area by a white hex tile walkway. There is tall stool seating at the bar counter with lots of regular tables to the left of and behind the bar counter and in front of the bar counter supported by banquettes around the external perimeter. The open kitchen is the right of the bar counter. Lots of balcony seating outside the bar area that was all part of the Californian welcome! The weakest of the airside venues in North Terminal.

Strongers . left this review about Sonoma
Sonoma is an American themed breakfast / brunch restaurant up on the mezzanine Airside at the North Terminal. It’s pretty much open plan with a central island bar that has a small patch of white tiling on the back bar where some taps dispense craft lagers. Controversially, the menu lists six craft beers, which include Beavertown Neck Oil and Brooklyn Lager, and two draught beers which are Camden Brewery’s Pale and Hells. They’re actually all draught options and the ‘craft beers’ are £7 a pint and the ‘draught beers’ are £7.60 a pint. The food is just as confusing with some strange US concoctions being slung together to create something a way off appetising. Unsurprisingly I’ll not be returning.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Sonoma
Although mostly a restaurant, you can just sit at the bar (and get served quicker) if you wish. I was tempted in by the words 'craft beer' on the signage but this turned out to be just a pair of Camden beers - Pale and Hells (£7.60, but about par for the course apart from the Red Lion) - but I then found six other bottled, somewhat more interesting, offerings from the fridges.
