Moonwake: “the moon’s reflection on a body of water” speaks to the brewery’s Leith Shore location, the importance of water as an ingredient, and our beers’ reflection of our collective experience.
Our beer is precision brewed with mindful intention using quality ingredients.
Our founders started their beer careers on opposite sides of the world, Vinny in New Zealand and Fin in the UK. They bring over a decade of collective experience in brewing to Moonwake, founded in 2021, for both of them brewing is their creative outlet.
As our team grows we are proud to say our whole team bring a wealth of experience and mindful intent to everything they do.
We want to create an open, creative space and culture where we can brew impressive beers with precision for you to enjoy regardless of background.
