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.

Keg at Ldn Brewers Market. It pours opaque jet black with a medium dense tan head. The aroma is rich, intense, sweet, decadent, massive custard character, donuts, chocolate and in general the smell of America. The taste is rich, slick, dark roast, loads of custard, milk chocolate, donut, toasty, earth, hint of ash, cake, touch of spice and a lick of alcohol with a slick finish. Full body and moderate carbonation. Rich and decadent. Good one.
