Moon Dog Brewing
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.

How we measure this
Two thresholds are at work here:
- The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
- The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.
A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
