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. House of Trembling Madness, York. 2nd October. Nearly black. Film of tan head. Treacle. Molasses. Light smoke. Light liquorice. Fruity, roast malt. Taste is thick sweet. Some woody dryness. A bit boozy, but is soft and rich in the mouth. Dark chocolate bitter finish, with more of the booze.

Cask at the Euston Tap, 03/10/14. Chestnut brown with a decent khaki covering that eventually fades to edgeing having put up some resistance. Nose is mellow dark fruits, nutty aroma, caramel, brown sugars. Taste comprises hazlenut, caramel, toffee fudge, sweet licks. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, sweet notes in the close. Ok mild, does what it says on the tin!

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.
