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.

Pigs Ear. Cask. Almost clear gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, light and semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Dry pale malts, touch of grain. Mild spice and light dry tangerine. Light dry fimish leaves a bitter linger. It's fine.
