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.

On cask at Cloisters. Appearance - opaque black with a lovely fawn head. Nose - dark chocolate with vanilla and a creamy backdrop. Taste - more creamy chocolate and vanilla loveliness. Some biscuit in there too. Palate - medium bodied with a creamy texture and an elegant creamy finish. Overall - so tasty you could pour it on ice cream.

Keg at Inn Deep. It pours lightly hazy golden-orange with a small white head. The nose is sweet, spicy, grainy, toast, cereal and earth. The taste is toasty, grainy, hay, straw, cereal, underlying sweetness, saffron, stone fruits, melon and honey with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Perhaps a touch sweet, but not bad.

Keighley Beer Festival 2014. Copper with a thick bubbly head. Ginger is dominant but the marmalade is also evident making it certainly an acquired taste but at the same time very different to the norm.
