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.

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.

Huddersfield Oktoberfest 2015. Paler blonde coloured. Mostly fruity with a small and appealing malty kick. The pineapple and coconut in here make it very tasty.

Bottle from Beers of Europe, Kings Lynn. Pours a pale gold colour with a frothy off white head. Aroma is a curious mix of bitter citrus, hop, with sweetness from hints of treacle and chocolate. High level of bitterness masking a medium sweetness which comes through in a mellow finish. Medium body. texture a little creamy. Very enjoyable beer.

A really hopped-up fruity English bitter. Taking a nod to Fuller's. A nod to Tim Taylor. Top work.
