| Hello

Thanks for all the support! On with the
news... |

| Debut
of Live @Lovibonds - this Friday Night! |
|
|
| |
|
|
| We're
staying open later than normal this coming Friday
night, with the debut of Live @Lovibonds
With our newly expanded tasting room we will be
hosting live music on the first Friday of every
month. |
|
Friday October 7th, music starts at 9:00, bar open at
2:30 ;) |
| |
|
|
| What
kind of music are we going to play...Rock and Roll!
You should know that by now. |
|
|
| |
|
|
| This
Friday we've got a recently formed local band called
Ambre led by a female vocalist with a solid band
behind her playing rock covers. Headlining we've
got an up and coming young rock band Loose Lips.
I was just reading their
facebook page
and they state their influences as "The
Stones, The Faces, The Black Crowes, Dylan, Kings of
Leon, Drive by Truckers, Gram Parsons..."
So I think you know where they are coming
from, they rock. Music starts at 9:00, hope to see you there. |

Lovibonds Beer Dinner at Hotel du Vin |
|
|
| |
|
|
| I'll be
honest, I've been a bit disappointed with the low
number of bookings for our Lovibonds Beer Dinner
coming up Friday October 14th, 7:00. As
always you can shoot me
feedback...
Head Chef Arron Christopher and I have come up
with a menu that helps demonstrate why beer is
underrated at the dinner table. Check out the
menu
here
I look forward to sharing a beer and talking you
through the pairings on the night. Details on
how to book
here. |

| Hop
Harvest and Open Brew Day |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We had an awesome Hop Harvest and Open Brew Day this
year. A big Thank You to those who gave up
their Saturday to come and get their hands dirty
picking hops. This year we had a record 11kg
of hops from our little hop yard in the beer garden. |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
While the regulars were picking away I was busy
brewing this years Fresh Hop IPA, which should be on
the bar next weekend! You can check out more
pictures of the day

This years hop picking team! Thank you! |

Malt Harvest Update |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I was invited to a Malt Harvest update put on by our
major malt supplier,
Warminster Maltings.
I really love the beer that Warminster Malt makes
and they are very much on the craft end of the
malting industry as each batch is still shoveled and
turned by hand. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The main theme of the day (which took place at a
very impressive Wiltshire cereal farm),
Nitrogen/Protein. Because we sort of had our
seasons in reverse this year, a majority of the
barley (across the whole of Europe) came out of the
fields with record Nitrogen levels. Nitrogen
in the brewhouse translates to Protein and high
level of Protein in the malt makes the brewers job
extra difficult. |

|
You may find in the coming months that your local
pint may not be as bright as it used to be as high
level of proteins can lead to hazy beer, even though
there is absolutely nothing wrong with the beer. |
