Moncada Brewery
Microbrewery in London Borough of Brent, Greater London, England 🏴
Established in 2011
Closed in 2021
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.

330ml bottle delivered from the Salmon and drunk at home. Light gold and only slightly hazy with a fairly full white head. Soft tangerine aroma, dried grass, spicy notes reminiscent of the, a touch of pine. Sweet taste, light spicy and herbal notes leading to light bitterness in the finish. Carbonation is way too heavy. It's a decent saison where the Sorachi Ace doesn't dominate the profile. Not so much floating in Ace as buoyed up by it.

Pours black, thick head of light brown foam. Smells sour, some cherries. Very creamy and smooth mouthfeel. Taste is lightly sour, slowly fading into soft roast with a light bitter. Hint of coffee. Pretty sure an unintended infection, but it works somehow.
