An artisanal brewery furnished with state-of-the-art equipment has been launched in Gozo after a €1m investment.  

Lord Chambray, as the brewery is called, is located in the Gozitano Agricultural Village in Xewkija.

Samuele D’Imperio, managing director of Lord Chambray Ltd, said his family had first visited Gozo over 25 years ago and had immediately fallen in love with the island.

“We feel we would now like to give something back that is of exceptional quality. We want to share our pride and passion for brewing artisanal beers with our clients and we are convinced that the three local brews – Blue Lagoon, Golden Bay and San Blas – will soon become established on the market as premium ales.”

Gozo Minister Anton Refalo said that, for the first time, Maltese and foreign tourists visiting Gozo would have the opportunity to experience a brewery tour and to familiarise themselves with the art of beer making.

Lord Chambray beers are made from top class ingredients, including barley, hops, herbs, spices and yeast, sourced from Belgium and the United States.

Italy’s leading master brewer, Andrea Bertola, has been engaged to oversee the brewing process and is visiting the brewery twice a month.
