One of the highlights of the week was meeting John Pullicino, brewer at Farson’s Cisk, and a lovely man. As we walked out of the brew house our guide, Isabelle, pointed out […]
A Maltese brewer
Lord Chambray
Lord Chambray definitely has to go down as the brewery with the nicest, most glamorous, friendliest tour guide ever! Valentina was an absolute star, she really made us feel at home. She’s […]
