Moonwake Beer Co. | Brewery & Taproom in Leith

Great afternoon at the bewery tap bar. It was very busy which added to the experience with some live music. The DDH beer was delicious and i took 4 cans home with me. I wish them the best of success as the deserve it.

Moonwake is a cool place and that's my first tip. Tip: It gets cold here, even under the heat lamps but bring a coat and come anyway. This is a review of the Moonwalk Taproom. Yeah, there's a brewery here and from those clean and shiny vats come some great tasting, local and craft beer. But what else can I say about the brewery? I suppose I could say that the open entrance space has been used for a local pop up market and it was petite but fun. There were just a few stalls but each one was local, quality and good. The main reason, unless you want to look at shiny vats, to visit is the taproom. The taproom is up a flight of stairs, is on a balcony and overlooks the brewery. Isn't that a great place to enjoy freshly poured pints? Staff here are friendly and since they make the beer on offer are way more involved than some city centre franchise clone. You can meet the owners here. Order at the bar or at the table. I've talked through what I feel like and have had recommendations. Tip: Moonwake is a local treasure, isn't huge so you can strike out and turn up when there are no free tables. Consider getting in touch if you want to bring the office or a group of friends. Pizza! For at least half the time I've been drinking here there's been a deal with Pizza Geeks. That's a brilliant local pizzeria. Use their app to do an "at table" order. Frankly, beer from the brewery served with freshly made pizza carried over the bridge from the local restaurant is amazing. Tip: Follow Moonwake on social media. They're lovely, transparent, informative and it's the best place to keep up with their latest brews and events. I'm a fan but I'm yet to try their e-commerce offer. If I buy a crate of their beer then I'd drink it! [May 22 update - even better with beer garden] [September 22 update - still good] [April 23 update - really enjoy their market events, recommend following on social to find out about them] [July 23 update - growing and successful but still feels indie and authentic] [October 23 update - Moonwake Beers are superb and they have a knack for great guest taps too] [March 24 update - So much happening here that it's worth signing up to the newsletter] [October 24 update - they span their event social media into a different account. Bizarre decision but worth following] [March 25 - speedy service from Pizza Geeks] [June 25 - so cool that this team is supporting the Leith Jazz Festive. It's an excellent location]

A great taproom with amazing selection of draught & bottled beers. Great vibes and lovely staff. A perfect spot to head by on a quiet afternoon or to spend a cosy evening at.

Some great craft beers pouring at this Tap Room - well worth the visit to try something new if you are visiting this region. The friendly staff are on hand to assist if you’re not sure what to try.

Outstanding small independent brewery! Very easy to find in Leith. Friendly staff offering a warm welcome. Well worth the effort to find it 👍
