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.

Handpull cask at the Two-Tailed Lion, Leicester. Deep brownish gold, clear with a bit of white head. Getting a malty sweetness on the nose with cherry and tinned pineapple. Sweet taste, nicely judged fruit flavour without masking the malty character. Very gentle bitterness on the finish. Body on the light side. Colour me impressed!

440ml can. Pours black with a beige head. Aroma of piney hops, roast malts, floral. Taste is quite hoppy, piney, roast malts, chocolate, floral, bitter finish. Light bodied and far too fizzy. It's a nice hoppy stout not too hoppy that you'd confuse it for a BIPA but it needs work.
