Hello everyone,
 
Hope this newsletter finds you well this morning...on with the news...
 
Site Update
 
We've been hard at work getting our new site at the Rear of 19-21 Market Place operational.  Work has uncovered quite a bit of Lovibonds and Henley history including old Lovibond order books, communication logs and many old mineral water and beer bottles.  One bottle seemingly feel from nowhere (seriously), hitting Jason on the head as we cleaned out some old racking.  This bottle of Lovibonds Yeoman Ale (c. 1950's) still had beer in it and our friends up at Brewlab in Sunderland are analysing to see if we can brew a special batch with the original Lovibonds yeast strain.
 
We are still awaiting the go ahead on our licensing applications, and will keep you up to date on a forthcoming open day.
 
Bottles
 
One of the priorities at the site was getting our bottling machine installed and operational.  We're proud to say that Henley Gold and Henley Dark are now available in bottles.  You can pick up bottles at Henley's Healthy Deli on Duke Street.  Please let Jonny and Sophie know that you heard about it from the newsletter.
 
We will be working on an online ordering system in the coming months where you will be able to order via the web and pick up from the brewery.
 
Customer of the Month
 
One of the nicest pubs in the area to have a pint of Henley Gold is The Lamb at Satwell.  Part of TV chef Antony Worrall Thompsons growing pub/restaurant estate, the Lamb is a perfect place to let a weekend afternoon slip away.  The small country pub has a massive garden and the newly installed barbeque is one of the most impressive I've seen.  Check it out this weekend and let Will know you appreciate him supporting us.
 
New Customers
 
The Red Lion Hotel in Henley have chosen Henley Gold as the local choice of beer in their snug bar.  Recently taken over by the Gill family, owners of the Manor Hotel in Windsor, plans are in place for an extensive refurbishment to the facilities.  The bar is open daily and welcomes non-residents.
 
Laurence at Magoos in Henley was the first to put Henley Gold on the bar and he has since sold over 1000 pints.  With another first, Laurence has chosen Henley Amber to round out his selection of local beer.  For the freshest beer in Henley and one of the best gardens, head to Magoos!
