Two international awards for our beers in 2023

Two international awards for our beers in 2023

Since the early years, Lord Chambray has participated in numerous international beer competitions, joining with thousands of breweries from all over the world. From the International Beer Challenge in London, the Brussels Beer Challenge, to the European Beer Star in Germany, we have totalled 15 awards from 2014 to 2022. With great pride, however, we pushed ourselves outside Europe to participate in two major competitions, winning two silver medals with our English IPA, San Blas.

Winner of 10 international awards our full-bodied IPA is dominated by the explosive character of a carefully selected hop blend that showcases the citrusy and peachy notes of American hop varieties, and the more subtle, spicy notes of British ones.

As Malta's best-selling beer San Blas also becomes Gluten Free in 2021, it is now part of a line-up of no less than 6 gluten-free beers that have lost the gluten molecules but have certainly not lost the fruity hoppiness and balance of a very drinkable beer.

Thanks to the collaboration with the Korean brewery Platinum Brewing, with whom a beer was brewed in 2019, and thanks to the friendships forged there, Samuele (the owner and director of Lord Chambray) was invited to judge at the KIBA (Korean International Beer Challenge) in April 2023. And on that occasion San Blas won the silver medal for gluten-free beer. Also in late September 2023, he won the same medal by participating in the Japan International Beer Cup in Kanazawa, and we can only be proud to have won an award during the third oldest beer judging competition worldwide, with 78 judges from all over the world.
