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.

Keg from The Beerhive. Milky yellow body with a short-lived head. No lacing. Aroma of soft pineapple, mango yoghurt and coconut cream. Flavour of coconut, lemon cake and custard. Thin body with a smooth mouthfeel. Weak fizz. This is unlike any other beer I’ve tasted. It’s strictly one for summer. As Pete at The Beerhive says, it’s the beer version of a piña colada.

Cask-conditioned at the Lime Kiln, Bristol 29/6/2015. Medium brown in colour with a decent, off-white, head. Easy drinking, with the advertised nuttiness, some sweetish malts and a very gentle finish. Good.

Bottle from The Beerhive. Opaque brown body with a thin off-white head that quickly fades. No lacing. Aroma of chocolate ice-cream, filter coffee, toffee and hazelnut. Flavour of vanilla, white sugar and chocolate with a strange lemony bite to finish. Thin body with a watery texture. Soft fizz. Doesn’t quite gel for me - the citric hops don’t suit.

21st June 2015
Very lightly hazy gold beer, tidy white head. Smooth light palate, semi dry and with modest fine carbonation. Sweet malts, touch of sugary sweetness. Mild crystallised fruits and esters. Pinch of herb. Smooth semi dry finish. Sweet and a bit flat but not terrible.
