Lovibonds Brewery Newsletter

April 2008

Beer and Chocolate Indulgence Day    
     
Historians believe that the people that discovered making chocolate were actually trying to make beer from the cacao.  I'm sure this will be debated, but one thing is for sure, chocolate and beer go very well together. 

Lovibonds will be hosting the Henley leg of Petra Barran's Choc Star tour this Saturday April 26 for our Beer and Chocolate Indulgence Day.

 
     
Petra recently made an appearance on Channel 4's Willie's Wonky Chocolate Factory, a show that all of us at the brewery could relate to!  We will be trying to find the ultimate chocolate pairings for all of our beers as well as serving some goodies made with chocolate and Lovibonds beer.  Petra will also be sharing her full menu of handmade chocolate desserts and drinks.  Come join us at the brewery this Saturday.  
     
Beer Garden Open    
     
I'm doing the final touches on this newsletter from our beer garden, which is now officially open during shop hours.  Pints and half pints are available from the tap bar.  Come and enjoy the sun with a pint of Lovibonds in our secluded beer garden.  
     
Lovibonds Dark Reserve No 1    
     
We still have a keg of Lovibonds Dark Reserve on tap in the shop for sampling.  This strong version (7.4%) of Henley Dark spent the last 6 months in whiskey barrels in our cellar here in Henley.  That time in the barrel has contributed an amazing toffee character and has really smoothed out the roasted edges of the Dark.

The official release date is May 17th.  You can pre-order a bottle here or in the shop.  Order while they last, there are only approximately 250 bottles remaining.  Price is 9.00 per 75cl bottle or 48.00 per 6 bottle case.

 
     
New Places to Enjoy Lovibonds Beer   Check out the list of our other customers!
     
The Big Bang Restaurant - Oxford    
     
Max Mason's idea was a restaurant serving bangers and mash with very low food miles.  Max sources his sausages and vegetables from local independent producers  Max also supports local craft breweries, recently adding our Henley Gold on draught where it pairs very well with the spicier sausages on offer.

A shout out to newsletter reader Simon for suggesting we got in touch with Max...that won Simon a free Lovibonds rugby shirt...if you think you know of a place that would support Lovibonds, drop us a note.

 
     
Quod Brasserie and Bar -  Oxford    
     
Quod is within the Old Bank Hotel on the Oxford High Street, a impressively restored Georgian banking hall.  Now you can enjoy a Henley Gold while you dine or drink at this popular Brasserie and Bar.  
     
That's all for now, hope to see you soon!

Best regards,

Jeff
