Lord Chambray Brewery was founded in 2014 in Xewkija, Gozo, marking the birth of the first true craft brewery in the Maltese Islands. Named after the nearby historic Fort Chambray, the brewery is dedicated to producing high-quality beers that embody the spirit and character of Gozo. Founder Samuele D'Imperio emphasizes the use of premium ingredients, often incorporating local elements like Xwejni sea salt or Gozitan honey into specific recipes. Their core range features beers named after iconic local landmarks, such as 'Blue Lagoon' (a Blanche style) and 'San Blas' (an English IPA). The brewery utilizes advanced Italian brewing technology to ensure consistency while maintaining an artisanal, small-batch approach to production. Lord Chambray has been a pioneer in modernizing Malta's beer culture, shifting consumer interest toward natural, unfiltered, and unpasteurized beverages. Located in the Xewkija Industrial Estate, the brewery welcomes visitors for tours and tastings, offering a firsthand look at the craft brewing process in a Mediterranean context.
