This time, we’ve got something a little different here for you at Lord Chambray. This beer is all about slowing down, sipping in style, and soaking up the zen. Introducing: Zen Break, our tea beer infused with Japanese green tea. It’s brand new, and it’s made to help you refresh, reset and recharge, sip by sip.
If you love craft beer, or you’re looking for something light, with a delicate flavour profile, then Zen Break could be your next beer crush! It’s the kind of beer that is easy on the palate, but leaves a lasting impression. Trust us, it’s as smooth as it sounds.
Zen Break: the facts
Zen Break is a light ale infused with the delicate flavour of Japanese green tea. With an ABV of just 3.4%, this brew is all about balance, freshness, and flavour without the heaviness. It’s gluten free, vegan, and full of calming vibes.
Picture this: subtle herbal and floral aromas, a whisper of malt sweetness, and a crisp, clean finish. The bitterness? Almost undetectable. Instead, the complexity of the green tea is allowed to shine, which creates a beer that’s elegant, calming, and incredibly drinkable.

The Inspiration: Japan to Gozo
We love taking inspiration from all over the world, especially when it means creating something that still feels right at home in Gozo’s sunshine. For Zen Break, we turned to the calming traditions of Japanese green tea culture, blending it with our own take on brewing.
Green tea has been sipped for centuries in Japan as a symbol of mindfulness and simplicity. We wanted to bring that feeling to life in beer form; something refreshing and refined, perfect for laying back and enjoying the moment. And that’s how Zen Break was born.
Beer That’s All About Ease
Zen Break isn’t just about being a beer, it’s about an overall vibe. With its low alcohol content, it's the kind of brew you can enjoy on a warm afternoon, at a long lunch, or as a palate cleanser between dishes.
It’s also ideal for:
A quiet beach picnic in Gozo
Pairing with your favourite sushi or light bites
Sipping during a relaxed Sunday hangout
Enjoying post-yoga (yes, beer and yoga go together, incase you haven’t seen our events!)
With its smooth mouthfeel and subtle complexity, Zen Break is the perfect match for those who love flavour without intensity. It’s approachable, nuanced, and full of surprises.
Food Pairings: What to Eat with Zen Break
This beer loves food. And food loves it back. With its light herbal notes and low bitterness, Zen Break pairs beautifully with a range of dishes.
Try it with:
Sushi and sashimi – Fresh flavours meet subtle aromas.
Salads with exotic fruit – Think mango, pomegranate, or citrus.
Steamed chicken with ginger – Clean and simple, just like the beer.
Matcha desserts – If you know, you know.
Hosting a dinner party or a light lunch with friends? Zen Break adds that unexpected touch that turns a meal into an experience.
The Vibe: Calm, Clean, Refreshing
Zen Break might not shout for your attention, but it definitely earns it. The herbal nose, clean body, and subtle malt backbone make it a total palate pleaser.
It’s also a great beer to introduce someone new to craft beer, and what we do here at Lord Chambray. It offers a lighter option, making it easy to incorporate into a beer-tasting night, and gives you a lighter moment between some of our heavier beers, so you can reset and relax over a brew. We recommend it anytime, to be honest, but we’d love to see you for a Taproom chill soon.
Where to Find Zen Break
Zen Break is available now on tap at the Lord Chambray Taproom in Gozo, and in cans at selected vendors across Gozo and Malta. It's also up on our online shop, so you can grab a few for your fridge and turn your evenings into a proper Zen session.
Just like all our special releases, it’s here for a good time, not a long time. So if you're curious, don’t wait too long to try it.
Why This Beer Matters
At Lord Chambray, we love pushing boundaries while staying true to our roots. Zen Break is a reminder that craft beer doesn’t always have to be intense or hoppy or bold. Sometimes, it’s about creating something beautifully balanced, unexpected, and easy to love.
From sourcing ingredients with care to nailing the perfect brewing process, we’re proud of what we’ve created, and even prouder to share it with you.
