How to taste craft beer, like a pro 🍻

There is a massive difference between drinking a beer, and tasting it. For starters, drinking a beer is what you do at a Maltese summer event, when it's scorching hot. Tasting, however, is a sensory experience. It's about slowing down, unlocking those hidden flavour notes, and understanding exactly what the brewer intended to create.  Tasting Guide to Master the art of Beer Tasting 1. The Setup: Glassware & Temperature Before you even think of opening a beer, you need to set the stage. Two rookie mistakes can ruin a premium craft, and thats drinking straight from the can, and serving it ice-cold.  The Glass: Pouring your beer into a glass releases carbonation and opens up the aromas. Reach for a proper glass and pour your beer allowing the liquid to breath and drive those aromatic notes straight to your nose with every sip. The Temperature: A good beer shouldn't be freezing cold. The extreme cold numbs the tastebuds and masks the flavours. It's recommended that your...

Old vs New: How Time Changes Things at Lord Chambray

There’s something special about looking back. Not in a “things were better back then” way, but in the quiet realisation of how far you’ve come and why change was always part of the plan. At Lord Chambray, change hasn’t meant losing who we are. It’s meant refining it. Learning. Improving. Brewing better beer, in better ways, for the same people we’ve always brewed for; beer lovers, locals and travellers alike. Where It All Began Lord Chambray opened its doors in Gozo in 2014, at a time when craft beer in Malta was still finding its feet.

Growth Without Losing the Soul Over the past decade, a l...
