Moncada Brewery
Microbrewery in London Borough of Brent, Greater London, England 🏴
Established in 2011
Closed in 2021
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.

Level 42 Bottlshare. Thanks to Dan. Light haze on this gold beer, good pale cream parlour head. Palate is smooth, semi dry and has decent carbonation. Smooth malts, lightly sweet. A little tangy citrus, mellow and ripe. Light finish. Standard stuff.

Cask-conditioned at the Dodo, Hanwell 17/11/2017. Deep copper-red in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. Earthy malts, red berry notes, some leafy hops, a hint of spice, before a moderately bitter finish. Enjoyable.

Bottle at L42 - thanks to Dan. It pours golden - yellow with a small white head. The aroma is soft, sweet, bready, cracker, zest, sweat, grass and lemon & poppyseed cake. The taste is dry, lemon rind, soda water, white bread, straw, grass and hay. Light - medium body and average carbonation. Lacking in a bit of substance to be honest with you. Drinks easy for sure.
