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 the London Brewers’ Market. Pours unclear gold with minimal head. The nose has some ripening citrus fruits, passionfruit, a little funky aspect. Light sweet flavour with notable acidity, more passionfruit, peach, lemon. Light bodiednwith soritzy carbonation. Quenching finish with more lent tartness, ripe passionfruit, bracing acidity. Not bad.

On tap at The Brewery Tap, Friday 21st October 2016 in the company of Chris and Ang, I think Craig had gone at this point. Pours gold with a white head. There is a pleasant soft citrussy aroma. Good fruity bitter bite, pleasant beer, nice bitterness, dry finish, the hops show well (citrussy) tasty effort. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.5

330ml bottle. Clear, yellow-ish golden colour with small, frothy, quickly fading, white head. Grainy, strawy aroma with a lactic touch. Taste is tart, tangy, minimally fruity, fruit acidic and lactic, hints of lemon juice and sauerkraut. Couldn’t convert me to the style.
