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 on the train during the IoW jolly, thanks to Ferris. It pours hazy pale gold with a decent white head. The nose is earthy, barnyard, grainy, light cat litter, lactic notes and some citrus. The taste is crisp, tart, lactic, lemon peel, sherbet, raspberry pip, Granny Smith apple, limited acidity and limeade with a dry finish. Light-medium body and fine carbonation. Rather tasty stuff. Crisp, tart and refreshing. Nicely done.
