Description
Moonshine Brewery has been established for over 20 years in the Cambridge area. In that time we have won numerous national and regional awards. Our beers are characterised by their clean, fresh taste which is thanks in no small part to the natural spring water that is used to make them.

Officially started brewing as Cambridge Moonshine Brewery in May 2004 using a 2½BBL self-built plant in the owners garage in Cambridge. The brewery moved to the current location during Summer 2008 at the same time upgrading to a 5BBL plant and changing its name to Moonshine Brewery.

2nd December 2008. Pigs Ear Fest. Hackney, London. Opaque dark beer - small suddy head. Described as a ’premium bitter’ but looks and tastes more like a porter! Mild, smooth and tangy. A little mild lactose.

Bottle at the Chriso Gaylord tasting 09. Amber. Lasting thin beige head. Not sure on my first taste. A little pukey but it settles down. But still not good. Just unpleasant. Some hop on end.

Bottle at Chriso Gaylord tasting 09. Black, thin tan head. It’s an ok stout. Pretty solid and decent. Very good in fact and stood out even when getting to the end of the evening.
