Raising a Glass to Women in Brewing: Celebrating Women in Brewing with Sylvia

Beer has been around for thousands of years, and for much of that time, it was women who led the charge in brewing. As we celebrate International Women’s Day on the 8th of March each year, Lord Chambray is raising a glass to the women who have shaped the craft beer industry: past, present, and future. From ancient goddesses of beer to today’s trailblazing female brewers, women have played a key role in crafting the pints we enjoy. And what better way to toast to their achievements than with a refreshing glass of Sylvia , our limited-edition Citrus Pale Ale , originally brewed in collaboration with Magic Rock Brewing in the UK. Let’s dive into the history, the beer, and the women who continue to break barriers in brewing.

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.
