Introducing the (rather delicious) Green Rock River Brew…

The Green Rock River Band were touring their album Rhinoceros during 2017. They were playing the big UK venues, such as the Royal Festival Hall and Alexander Palace, but also seeking out smaller shows in the rural pockets of England.

It was at a show in Graffham, West Sussex, population 511, that the band first tasted Langham Brewery beer. Straight after the show they instantly emailed us to say what a great tasting brew we’d made (thank you!), and if we ever wanted a folk band to play for them, to give them a call.

As it turns out us brewers and the musicians became friends, and continue the tradition of holding annual charity concerts at the brewery, raising money for two different charities each year.

A further collaboration of beer and music was only a matter of time, and after a few conversations, several tastings and a lot of fun, the Green Rock River Brew was born.

This is a light, versatile and delicious beer. To order the Green Rock River Brew simply speak to our distributors, Flying Firkin (please allow at least 2 weeks for delivery if you are ordering in time for a Green Rock River Band show)

Catch the band at the Green Rock River Brew launch at the Lamb in Surbiton on 17th June.

Our Triple XXX has won again!

Triple XXX was the winner of the ‘Mild Category’ at the CAMRA (the Campaign for Real Ale) Gosport Winterfest 2018.

We’re grinning from ear to ear – the love this brew is receiving is ginormous!

Many thanks to all involved with the Gosport festival, we’re absolutely thrilled to have won.

Here’s one of our off-sales customers enjoying a pint of the good stuff. Verdict? Pretty darn good.

Proudly sharing our Society of Independent Brewers (SIBA)​ award.

And a word from #SIBA –
“Judges had a tough job separating the pack as the standard was extremely high once again. The winners from the SIBA competition are officially the best independent craft beers in the UK, something brewers should be extremely proud of.”
Buster Grant, SIBA Chairman.

The SIBA National Independent Beer Awards judged a huge range of beers across a number of styles in separate cask, keg and small pack (bottle and can) competitions.
As the awards are judged mostly by brewers, industry experts and beer journalists the, SIBA Independent Beer Awards are very much seen as the prestigious ‘Brewers’ choice Awards’ by the industry…

Our Triple XXX won the silver award in the ‘Cask Champion Standard Mild Ales & Brown Ales’ category.
There were 80 cask ales in the different categories, so we are absolutely thrilled with our win.

We’re so totally thrilled!

Our Triple XXX won the silver award in the ‘Cask Champion Standard Mild Ales & Brown Ales’ in SIBA’s National Independent Beer Awards 2018.

This is so very, very special for us. To be ‘up against’ such high-level competition from so many incredible breweries across the UK really is quite something 🍻❤️🍺

The SIBA Beer X Exhibition 2018 took place at Exhibition Centre in Liverpool.

With very many thanks to ‘Best Of Brighton’ for their online article about us; it’s fantastic to have your support.

Here’s an extract:

‘For visitors to the South Downs National Park with a taste for real ales, an eye for historic surroundings and an ear for live music, Langham Brewery is a must-see destination with its own distinctive character and flavour.

The story of Langham Brewery begins with good friends James Berrow and Steve Mansley brewing their own real ale in James’ garage for more than 25 years. So successful were they in their endeavours that in 2003 the pair decided to take the leap into commercial brewing, with James’ partner, Lesley Foulkes, bringing her business acumen to the venture and completing the puzzle.

Langham Brewery was officially founded in 2005 and today operates as an independent steam-powered microbrewery, which rests between the Sussex towns of Midhurst and Petworth in the stunning surroundings of the South Downs National Park. During the development of the brewery, a 10-barrel plant was lovingly refurbished, while the Cowdray Estate assisted by converting a superb 18th century especially for purpose so that by spring 2006 Langham Brewery was ready to brew.’

Langham brews up funding for South Downs National Park…

We are thrilled to have renamed our best bitter after the National Park, with 5 pence from every bottle of South Downs best-bitter sold going to support the new charity for the National Park.

We are the first corporate partners for the South Downs National Park Trust, which launched in October 2017. As well as relaunching the South Downs best-bitter we have also helped to raise £647.86 for the Trust’s first campaign – ‘Mend our Way’, to fix broken sections of the South Downs Way – through our Live at Langham music events.

Julie Fawcett, Chair of the new South Downs National Park Trust, said:
“Langham Brewery are award-winning local producers, based right in the heart of the National Park – it would be hard to find a more a natural partner for our new charity. Look out for the new South Downs best bitter labels at local stores and pubs or buy it from the brewery itself!”

All of us here at Langhams are thrilled to be the first corporate partner of the Trust. Our friendly, award-
winning microbrewery nestles in the South Downs and we look forward to collaborating with the South Downs National Park Trust to raise awareness of the fabulous countryside that surrounds us, and to lead the way in raising funds to conserve the much loved South Downs Way for future generations.

The South Downs National Park Trust is an independent charity but will be supported by South Downs National Park Authority staff for its first three years – ensuring that funds raised can be focused on work in the National Park.

What a fabulous night (Saturday 18th November)…

Wonderful reasons to run a brewery: amazing beer, great friends and an excuse to hold rockin’ gigs with talented, excellent, fun-lovin musicians, plus raise funds for The South Downs Way at the same time.

Beer and music = the best combination.

We have a gallery of images on the Langham Brewery facebook page.

With many thanks to all those who came along and supported the event.
