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==

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. At Lord Chambray craft brewery in Gozo, some of our most exciting beers are born from collaborations, seasonal experiments, and one-off ideas that let us have fun with flavour, design, and storytelling. These labels aren’t about bays, beaches, or harbours; they’re about the breweries we work with, unexpected ingredients, and creative journeys that stretch far beyond our island home. Let’s dive into the cans that show just how playful and imaginative craft beer can be. Sylvia Sylvia is sunshine in a can.
