Award winningKnown for a full range of styles

Moon Dog was founded in 2010 by brothers Josh and Jake Uljans and their school friend Karl van Buuren in a back-street warehouse in Abbotsford, Melbourne, on a brewhouse assembled from former dairy equipment. Early releases leaned on barrel ageing and unusual ingredients; a core range followed from late 2015. Since 2019 production has been based at Moon Dog World, a former Nylex plant in Preston with a 100-hectolitre brewhouse. The brewery is independent and still owned by its founders.

Their signature has to hold across very different styles — which makes the notes that do recur more telling, not less.

How they compare
Each beer measured against others of its own style, then averaged across the range. Compared with the wider catalogue across breweries making similar styles.

Across 10 beers in 7 style families, none of Moon Dog Brewing's characters carry through the whole range — the mix of styles they brew is the signature here.
