Quinno _ left this review about Moonface Brewery & Tap
Yet again, none of theirs on! Do they even brew?? Anyway Illuminati by Full Mash Brewery was in good nick (NBSS 3.5) so it’s worth the nose if you are a casketeer/GBG ticker. The regular punter would probably struggle to summon enthusiasm though.
November 2022
A basic brewery tap in an old industrial unit with stereotypical chilly temperature and damp smells. An immediate black mark was that none of their beers were on, “we need to shift these first” said the friendly Irish Woodstock behind the bar; I say that your planning is non-existent, sir. Five on stillage and no complaints with my Charnwood Hubble Bubble (NBSS 4) which left me with a far better impression than I expected. GBG’22 listed and with good reason. Rated 6.5

Old Boots left this review about Moonface Brewery & Tap
A tiny tap room with an equally tiny brewery in the back room, all the cask beers are stillaged on the back wall of the tap room, a couple of craft kegs were available from a shiny box dispenser. Pretty limited seating at tables and chairs and a couple of stools at casks as tables, a bit more seating is available in the brewery bit. The lav’s are in the front and they’ve squeezed in a piano to one side. Limited opening hours so check before travelling as they say. Maybe I was lucky but on sale there was one Moonface beer (It’s Only Pale) with Shipstones (not that one), Lenten Lane and Halls (not that one either and their Valkyrie isn’t the Rudgate one), aren’t beers and breweries confusing? Regulars tend to put their empty glasses on the floor in a corner of the counter. I wasn’t expecting this customer profile for a brewery tap; older men and dogs! Not many beards and no lumberjack shirts. Decent cobs.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Moonface Brewery & Tap
Supposedly a brewery tap, but none of their own beers on when I visited this two-part establishment. The front bit is like an alehouse-style micro-pub with the ales served by gravity from jacketed casks on the stillage behind the counter. More seating can be found further back, along with some fridges and shelves for bottled and canned beers. So, ignoring the very loud regular pontificating on everything, I quite enjoyed my King George from Little Brewing (£4.20).
