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.

Cask at Flying Pig, Cambridge. Low key fruit and grain aroma. Light gold. Thin foamy translucent white head. Light-medium sweetness with a sour adhesive. A big dose of cardboard that then gains prominence. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. God awful gold.

31/1/2020. Cask at the 13th Colchester Winter Ale Festival. Pours clear amber / copper with minimal head. Aroma of toffee, wheat, light wood, fruit, sweet malt and leather. Medium plus sweetness, light bitterness. Medium body, sticky texture, flat carbonation. Alcoholic and leathery woody finish. Good stuff, doesn't quite have to intensity of the oak cask version. but aroma of this one is even nicer.
