What a journey it's been! On July 20th, we celebrated Lord Chambray’s 10th Anniversary Birthday Bash at our beloved brewery in Gozo. This milestone event marked a decade of crafting exceptional beers and building a vibrant community. It was a day filled with laughter, music, and fantastic brews, making it an unforgettable celebration.

Pre-Event Excitement

The buzz leading up to the event was palpable. Our social media channels were alive with anticipation as we shared sneak peeks and behind-the-scenes glimpses of the preparations. Fans eagerly expressed their excitement online, and the community spirit was evident on social media. The promotional activities, including giveaways and countdown posts, only heightened the excitement.

Special Guests and Partners

The event wouldn’t have been a success without our partners; Matilde from Matilde Pasta e Basta for the food, The entire crew from 67 Kapitali for taking time off to celebrate with us and Tipsy Insights for sharing the event highlights and insights of the two newly launched beers.

Music Lineup and Performances

Music is the heart and soul of any celebration, and our lineup did not disappoint. The evening started with Keith and Jacqueline keeping the energy high with their soulful tunes. Next up, the dynamic duo Simon and Harry set the perfect tone with their vibrant performance. Dean, Harry, Cassie, James and Heide closed the night with a rocking set that had everyone dancing. The crowd's reactions were electric, with everyone grooving to the beats and enjoying the live music. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C94xzWao7xr/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

New Beer Launches

We were thrilled to unveil two new brews at the event:

Marrickville Pacific Pale Ale: Bursting with tropical fruit aromas and flavours, this Pacific Pale Ale features hops exclusively from Australia and New Zealand. It’s a true taste of summer that left our guests wanting more.

Longan Breeze Session IPA: Infused with Longan fruit, this session IPA offers a delightful blend of sweetness with a hint of smokiness. Light-bodied and hoppy, it quickly became a crowd favourite. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C9kUzKboG0T/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

The beers are available now on tap at our taproom and in cans and kegs at our online shop.

Discover the Stories Behind Our Beer: Part 2 - Collabs & Creativity

In Part 1 of this series, we shared how our core range of year-round craft beers is inspired by the landscapes and spirit of the Maltese Islands, our home! From San Blas Bay to Valletta’s Grand Harbour , every label was designed to celebrate a place we love in the place where Lord Chambray originated. But our creativity doesn’t stop there.
