Description
Moonwake: “the moon’s reflection on a body of water” speaks to the brewery’s Leith Shore location, the importance of water as an ingredient, and our beer’s reflection of our collective experience.

Our beer is precision brewed with mindful intention on modern technology using quality ingredients.

Our founders started their beer careers on opposite sides of the world, Vinny in New Zealand and Fin in the UK. They bring over a decade of collective experience in brewing to Moonwake, for both of them brewing is their creative outlet.

On tap at Fuggles Cafe Tonbridge Black beer lasting tan head. Not a lot of darkness here. Quite a light dark lager. Fine just I was expecting a bit more.

Can thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - murky yellow with a big foamy snow white head. Nose - salt, light funk. Lemon, maybe. Taste - you can find the coriander if you search. Light salt and citrus. Palate - light bodied, mildly zesty middle and finish. Very balanced. Overall - good to have a proper sour style without flavouring.

Can thanks to Golnar. Appearance - golden amber and slightly hazy. Foamy, white head. Nose - red fruits, tinned peach, orange and candyfloss. As the description roughly says. Taste - tinned peach again, blackberry lurking and then it comes through. Palate - medium bodied, creamy middle and bitter fruit skin finish. Overall - really interesting beer, does what it says on the tin.
