Description
Moncada is more than a brewery – it’s our home. When Julio Moncada first came travelling through West London in 2001 he instantly fell in love with the place. As a dedicated “foodie” he first wanted to start a deli, but then he had an even better idea – the Moncada Brewery.

We began Moncada Brewery in the colourful area of Notting Hill. Julio surrounded himself with like-minded craft beer obsessives and became inspired by the neighbourhood – creative, vibrant and hemmed with diversity – and the Notting Hill beer range was born, which makes up our core range today.

Later, in 2017, we moved to Dollis Hill to expand and explore a new locality. A new place marked a new start, and the Blueprint beer series was launched, focusing on experimentation and limited edition releases, with a touch of eccentricity.

Relocated once more in Spring 2018 to the current address.

Can 440ml (LFB)
Hazy orange colour, medium-sized off-white head. Aroma is a bit funky, apricot, blackberry leaves and hop pellets. Medium-bodied. Piney, a bit resiny and hop oily flavour. No funkyness in the flavour. Nice to drink old skool piney-resiny IPA instead of pineapple juice for a while. Solid.
