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.

Bottle. Dark amber coloured ale with a strong slightly off white head. The aroma is quite fruity with a yeasty sourness. The flavour is bitter and quite well roasted with yeasty elements. Overall a nice well flavoured amber ale. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

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

Cask at GBBF 2015, day 1 - London. Pours deep brown with a light, tan cream head. The nose holds light chocolate, mellow smoke, toasted bread. Light-medium sweet flavor with some earth, leaves, toast, dried fruits. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly smokey on the finish, with further cocoa, earth. Nice beer.

Bottle. Still looking slightly cloudy golden beer with virtually no head. The aroma is lemony with some yeastiness, and the flavour is grapefruity and lemony with reasonable citrus bitterness. Overall a disappointing appearance but good citrusy flavour. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
