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.

Almost opaque dark brown beer, mild reddish tint. Palate is comparatively light, semi dry. Modest carbonation. Smooth malts, nice toffee caramel. Nice Port Wine berries, little wood too. Mild ripe fruits. Smooth light finish. Yeah - decent barleywine.

On keg at the Bow Bar. Appearance - cloudy golden with a nice fluffy head. Nose - a bit funky but a nice creamy banana note comes through. OH, something savoury and herbaceous on the go too. Taste - oh yes, total coconut takeover. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry but elegant finish. Sone tropical fruit but coconut is main show in town. Overall - just as well I love coconut.

Typical hoppy wheat beer. Not a fan of the hop combo. Juicy and clean though. Defintely a wheat beer.

Well-made session bitter with a nice bite of papaya stonefruits. Easy-drinker. Can slam it all night long.
