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 @ Grapes, Liverpool. Glowing clear dark copper with a small head. Has a grainy-biscuit malt aroma and taste with hints of chocolate in here too - all very tasty. It’s texture is good too and feels good in the palate.

23rd April 2015: 500ml bottle BBE of Sep 2015. Poured into a UK pint sleeve at home. Slight haze to the orange/amber body, on top a full uneven white foam blanket. Hops all the way and very bitter with a hidden malty backbone that fails to temper the hop bitterness too greatly. I really liked it, the wife not so. Strangely I was talking to my daughter who lives in California while I was drinking this beer: it could have been brewed where she lives in Orange County such was the hoppiness.

Cask. North Riding Brew Pub, Scarborough. Clear, very dark brown. Thin, and bubbly, lasting, tan head. Dark chocolate, and coffee malts. Dark cherry tang. Taste is bittersweet. A little dryness. Smooth palate, with a liqueur booziness. Finishes dry, with more of the bittersweet tang. Nice one.
