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(RBESG 2014):very pale yellowish coloured with a stable white foamy layer; quite solid grapefruity aroma; dry bitter flavour, very light bodied; short tart and grapefruity finish. A bit too dry and a bit too thin…

Black with this soapy, coffee coloured head. Some toasty, smokey elements in the aroma. Also some grassy hops. Flavour has a fair whack of bitter coffee and some cocoa too. Bitter and somewhat metallic aftertaste.

Hazy red brown with creamy head. Aroma of sweet candy and malts. Flavour has a spicy, yeasty edge. Sweet maltiness and a hoppy bittersweet finish.
