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.

Bottle. It pours almost black in the glass, topped by a dense, brown head. The aroma has some spiced notes, cinnamon standing out, along with coffee, dark chocolate, brown sugar, roasted malts and caramel sauce. It's full-bodied, sweet, sticky and smooth on the palate, with a soft carbonation. The flavor found in the nose weren't present in the flavor, else it's pretty much the same. Some vanilla notes showing up though. Roasted malts, caramel sauce, dark chocolate and some brown sugar, and a light touch of cinnamon. Lasting finish. A very pleasant one indeed, sort of like a pastry stout only more balanced. Tasteful, complex and more or less easy drinkable. 190503

330ml bottle drunk at the Salmon, Leicester. Mid- to dark gold, mostly clear with lots of visible carbonation and a large white head. Light tropical fruit aroma, some gentle malt notes, a pleasant floral character. Sweet taste with just a hint of bitterness on its way out, leading to a drier finish. Watery body with heavy carbonation on the tongue. Very understated but certainly none the worse for it.
