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.

Deep ruby color, small beige head, some lace. Some caramel, fruity mentholic hoppyness. Light to medium bodied, oily palate. Caramel, berries, some harsh bitterness. Rye is not dominating here. A bit lame.

Bottle picked up Tuesday 15th October 2013 from ’Jacks’, Westholme Stores, Goring-on-Thames, Oxon, consumed at home Sunday 3rd November 2013 Pours dark brown with a little ruby glinting through. I am cooking curry so being exact on the aroma is actually quite tricky, however there is a little milkiness, some maltiness and perhaps chocolate not a lot else though. In the mouth a little weak coffee, roasty with a late roastiness that lingers a little, a bit of milk chocolate its fine. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov13 3.3
