| Henley Regatta | Regatta opening | |
| For
weeks now Henley has been full of rowers, their
coaches, families and fans...with the
Men's Regatta
now coming into day two. We wish everyone the
best of luck in one of the world's most prestigious
races. Unfortunately, down by the river can sometimes be devoid of any craft beer, so it might be worth pre-loading with a few good beers at our place or why not pick up a Party 9. |

| Interview with The Independent |
![]() |
|
| I
recently sat down with Will Hawkes of the
Independent newspaper. He's been writing a lot
about craft beer. What is craft beer?
This is something that people have been struggling
to define. One way I like to think of it is
that craft beer is beer that you are able to have
access to the people that made the beer.
You're able to talk to them, see and feel how the
beer is made. I like the term craft beer because in my mind it encompasses what we do (100% natural, cold, carbonated beer with flavour) and what people call 'real ale' here in the UK (of which we by the strict CAMRA definition cannot be classified). Anyway, enough of my rambling, check out the great article on the Independent online pages |

| New Party Keg | ||
|
We now have 20 litre kegs available for takeaway
from the tasting room. A smart tap fits right
onto the keg and you can have yours guests pour
their own Lovibonds. All you need to provide
is a bucket of ice water to keep the beer cold.
Taps/kegs must be reserved (first come, first served) by emailing kegs@lovibonds.com and picked up Fri, Sat, Sun and returned no later than the following Thursday* Current pricing for Henley Gold, Amber and Dark is 65.00 (ex VAT) * Please note there is a deposit of 100 that will be taken against damage or disappearance of our stuff. Also note that this system of dispense uses air, therefore this keg should be for a party where you can guarantee you and your guests will beat the barrel in a session. |

| BBQ Time | ||
| Our BBQ is now lit every Saturday from mid-day. The menu is simple, we're doing local sausages that have been slow cooked in onions and Henley Gold, then browned up on the grill and handmade burgers, again with a bit of Henley Gold in the mince. |

Lovibonds and they promise me that they've added a
lot of new material to their Twisted Sketches.
Trust me this is a great night of comedy, so
don't hesitate to book a ticket, they will sell out.
Note also this is really an adult show, with a bit
of sex, swearing and just plain crazy stuff. Book tickets here |
