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.

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.

Dark red beer with a decent beige head. Light fruit aroma. Fruity malt and chocolate make up most of the flavour. Rich and hearty. Very nice.

Cask at the Craven Arms. Pours clear amber with a slight white foam head. Nice beer, with notes of toasted bread, mellow leafy bitterness. Some piney notes, dried berries. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation; good condition. Balanced finish, with pleasant bready malt sweetness. Good one.
