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 at home in London with Lyoli and Nora - sourced from Kris Wines. Pours mostly clear reddish-brown with a fine, creamy off-white head. The aroma holds a ton or orange rind, a bit of pine, some toasty malts. Medium sweet flavor with a lot of resinous pine, earth, toasted brown bread, some ripe orange, dirt, grass, citrus peel. Medium bodied with fine carbonation and oily texture. Lots more resinous pine to finish, juicy orange, some bitter toasted grass, grapefruit, bitter citrus rind. Pretty solid stuff.

Bottled @ RBESG 2013 Grand Tasting. Dark color. Fruity aroma, roasted malts, dark red fruit. Chocolat, coffee. Quite typical english brew actually, difficult to describe what gives that sensation, but I think it’s the combination of english malts, with fruitiness of the yeast and perhaps some english hops. Nice brew.

Bottle from Oddbins London Bridge I’d guess. Black beer with a lasting thin tan head. Roasted malt aroma with choc and coffee. A solid stout. I’ve been pretty impressed with the bottled Moncada beers. Solid, good clean flavours..
