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.
