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.

Bottle from Oddbins in Old Brompton Road, Kensington. Poured a fairly clear amber with a thin off-white head which dissipated quickly. Aroma of grassy hops as well as caramel and grainy malts. Initial flavours of dried fruit and biscuit replaced by a slightly astringent hop bitterness.

Bottle from Oddbins London Bridge drunk at home. Ruby coloured beer thick beige head. Lovely American hoppy aroma. I do Like American reds. Maybe a little too earthy. Touch of sourness on the aroma which is odd. But that might be the hops. Rest of beer is good though and right up my alley. As it were.
