We’re in the process of creating some Gluten Free test brews.

But, what does Gluten Free really mean?
When is Gluten Free, Gluten Free?
And how should Gluten Free be labelled?
Can you actually detect gluten in beer?

This fascinating and challenging blog is a must-read. It’s via Gluten Free Fab Life.

Out Live At Langhams Event: Easter Live At Langhams

As part of a new feature, The South Downs National Park are finding out what the National Park means to people who live, work and visit there.

Lesley Foulkes, (the co-owner of Langham Brewery), talks to the National Park Authority about her life and why the region is so special to her.

Thank you so much for highlighting the brewery; we loved being based in this stunning part of the world.

We’re thrilled to have partnered with Redh to enable the purchase of our bottled beers online.

Redh, based in Haslemere, is a local bar – for discovering, tasting and selling quality drinks and morsels – plus an online shop to help reach people further afield.

The bar, based in the old Post Office, has a welcoming atmosphere and is situated in the heart of the town. Redh is all about reconnecting people to English products – grown, harvested and produced locally. Their aim is to support the fact that people are becoming more aware of what they are buying, where it is from and the people behind their purchases.

Redh is the brainchild of two Sussex born guys; Richard Edwards and Douglas Howard – two great friends from school who have been known to enjoy an occasional drink or two!

Following an impromptu visit to a small, local brewery, they questioned why they had not heard of the quality beer even though it was right on their doorstep. The big lightbulb moment followed shortly after:
“Why don’t we create a business that can  connect local people with local produce?”

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you to all the wonderful people who voted for us in the Sussex Food and Drink Awards 2019.

We are absolutely over-the-moon to announce that we’re now Grand Finalists! Thank you so much for all your support, we 🧡 you.

We are also very pleased and proud to be the only Sussex brewery in our category – Sussex Drink Producer of the Year – sponsored by Natural PR.
And we’re among very good company – we’re alongside Brighton Gin and Bolney Wine Estate.
Good luck everyone, we look forward to seeing all the finalists in May at the Awards Banquet.

The intensive eight-month judging process, supported by a record 18,000 public votes (across the whole competition), resulted in ‘little ol us’ being one of the Grand Finalists.

Sussex farmer and Nuffield scholar, William Goodwin, who is chairman of the judges, said: “Over the last decade, Sussex has really earned its place as one of the leading counties in the UK for producing superb food and drink and this year’s Grand Finalists line up offers an impressive range of first class, diverse businesses from across the county.
The competition continues to get tougher year on year and the Grand Finalists announced so far, 21 from West Sussex, three from East Sussex and three from Brighton & Hove, should feel immensely proud at making it through to this final stage in the competition.”

And, as there are over 100 breweries in Sussex, we are immensely proud to have got this far.
Thank you again!

Villagers in Cocking, near Midhurst in the heart of the South Downs National Park, have got together to save its only pub, the Blue Bell, and turn it into a Community Hub for the benefit of the village and everyone enjoying the surrounding countryside including the South Downs Way, which is right on the doorstep.

We, Langham Brewery, will be producing a beer especially for the pub and will be holding a competition to ‘name that ale’. Choose the best name for an ale to be supped in The Blue Bell in Cocking! The winner of the chosen name wins a free tour of the brewery.
See the pinned post on our Facebook page to join in the fun.

The South Downs National Park is also supporting the project with a visitor centre in the Hub where ramblers, cyclists and all those visiting this beautiful area can discover more about the 1,627 sq km of stunning surrounding countryside with its historic sites, walks, trails and wildlife, as well as benefiting from the Hub facilities.

As the first Community Hub in the national park, it will include a relaxed, accessible venue where people of all ages can enjoy the pub, a restaurant and café, bed and breakfast, a shop, and eventually the Post Office when the post master retires.

All are determined not to lose these key assets for the community and to welcome all those visiting the South Downs including key destinations in the area – Goodwood, the Weald & Downland Living Museum, West Dean Gardens, Chichester and Pallant House Art Gallery are just a few.

The group behind the scheme is actively seeking a suitable tenant to run the Hub, to live on site and share in the vision for the pub to become a true social Hub, providing facilities and services that bring the community together and serve its visitors.

The Community Hub was launched after a possible housing scheme at the threatened pub was stopped and agreement reached to purchase the building from the current owner. A packed village meeting demonstrated support and a Community Benefit Society was set up to raise funds.

A Community Share Offer has been launched to help pay for the project and is already attracting support from locals and from those that visit. Pledges have already been received from some grant-giving bodies but £120,000 plus is needed through shareholding and crowdfunding.

Think of us while you don your boots (and doff your hat) this springtime in the South Downs National Park.

Why not plan a stop-off at our relaxed brewery tap room, as part of your walk, cycle (or general enjoyment) of the park? Our brewery tap is, of course, our nearest outlet for our award winning beers, with a warm welcome always at the ready. 🍻
