Description
Brass Castle commenced brewing in a garage as a commercial home brewer in August 2011 initially in Pocklington, East Yorkshire. In December 2013 they relocated to Malton, North Yorkshire and expanded to a 10BBL plant. Over time, new tanks arrived and a Taphouse was established next door. Success, friends, family and the odd bank loan have got us where we are now.
The brewery has always pushed itself to brew interesting beers, under the very deliberate constraint of doing so without the use of animal products. In turn, this caused Brass Castle to develop a house yeast strain and specialised processes that could guarantee the final product. From December 2017, every beer brewed at Brass Castle has been based on a gluten-free beer recipes – on the basis that beer should be made available to as many people as possible. Most recently, the brewery invested in canning line and carbonation tanks, to spread the beers further than they have gone before.

Can from HOTM that I didn't get around to drinking at Christmas. Black with a lasting tan head. Sweet black coffee, a hint of vanilla pods, and a big kick of cinnamon in the lightly roasted finish. Maybe a tad thin at times, but still very enjoyable.

440ml can on 19th January 2025, early evening in the Green Dragon Ale House, Whitby. Black bodied with a creamy tanned head. Peanut butter like aroma and taste, it is creamy but I didn't get the marshmallow bit. Certainly interesting and different.

Classed as a session IPA on a few websites, it's more genuine in style than neauveau with a dull-body from a fair strength. Hoppy, mild non-tropical fruits taste.
