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.

Half pint, cask at Ye Olde Black Boy, shared with Finn. Fair tan-coloured head to a jet black body. Dotted spots on the glass. Mid-sweet, roasted aroma. The taste profile includes earthy malts, chocolate and liquorice followed by a lightly smoked ending. Smooth on the swallow. Pleasant stuff (Hull 25.11.2015).

Fra cask på Olde Black Boy Hull 25 Nov 15. Svart. Lavt, litt farget skum. Tynn teppelacing. Utmerket aroma av melkesjokolade. Myk munnfølelse. Smaken er mørk frukt. Litt tørr avslutning.

I don't know why it's lost my rating for this one. I'll add another full review if / when I have it again. I didn't mind it and I quite like a mild but nuts not so much so my only giving it a 3 would have been a personal taste thing rather than a knock on the beer.

Bottle. Curious Hop, Otley. As Twisted Angel Brewing Berserker IPA. Had this a while whilst I worked out who brewed it. Hazy, dark, orangey amber. Film of messy, off white head. Punchy, ripe orange, spicy, lightly resinous hop. Bit of fust. Bit dank. Smells great. Taste is sticky sweet. Turns oily, resinous bitter. Palate has a chew, and a full body. Some pepper spice. Finishes long, spicy bitter. Tasty gear.

Cask @ Cask, Manchester. Clear golden-blonde with a small creamy head. Fairly hoppy with a mid tropical fruit aroma and taste due to fusion of slightly sugary malts.
