Real Beer vs Mass Production - What’s actually inside your glass?

Real Beer vs Mass Production - What’s actually inside your glass? Ever wonder why some beers leave you feeling heavy and bloated, whilst other well crafted beers feel light, crisp and clean?  The secret isn’t just in the recipe, it’s actually the behind the scenes action that goes into making it.  When you crack open a beer, you’re either drinking a product made with patience, passion and raw ingredients, or an industrial beverage engineered for maximum shelf life.

Lord Chambray Taproom: What To Expect from an Afternoon at our Taproom

Located right in the heart of Xewkija, Gozo’s first craft brewery isn’t just a place to enjoy a pint of craft beer, it’s a place where great vibes and craft beer knowledge are waiting to be discovered. Welcome to the Lord Chambray Taproom: the home of innovative brews, big personalities, and a community that really does speak beer.

Whether you're a craft beer connoisseur or just looking for a refreshing experience (literally) on a sunny island afternoon, visiting our taproom is not something you want to miss out on when visiting Gozo.

The Lord Chambray Taproom

The Taproom Experience

The taproom at Lord Chambray Brewery is all about bringing you closer to quality beer, the process behind the brew, and the people who make it possible. From your very first sip to the final cheers of the day, we’ve designed the space to be welcoming, educational, and above all: fun. 

Step inside our inviting taproom and you'll find: a rotating line-up of 12 craft beers on tap with three sizes to try: small (200ml), large (400ml), or a tasting flight if you’re feeling like trying a bunch. This is the best way to explore the full spectrum of Lord Chambray's beers, from the fruity burst of our Sour Ale, Red Dragon, to the clean crispness of Coral Cave, our craft lager, and everything in between.

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. This citrus-forward brew was created with our friends at Magic Rock Brewing in the UK, and bursts with the vibrant flavours of locally grown lemons...
