A Day in the Life at Lord Chambray brewery: Production Day

Ever wondered what goes into crafting your favourite Lord Chambray beer? A production day at the brewery is a mix of precision, passion, and a whole lot of fun (plus, the smell of fresh hops isn't bad either). Let’s take a trip through a typical day when we brew up those tasty beers you love! The Day Before: Prep Time! Even before the brewing starts, we’re already setting the stage.
