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.

12/4/2024. Cask at the 11th Isle of Man Beer & Cider Festival. Pours an unexpected clear dark gold with a small frothy white head. Aroma is very fruity, fruit salad, raspberry, pineapple, citrus, vanilla custard, corn. Quite sweet with mild bitterness. Medium body, oily, soft carbonation. Curiously enjoyable.

Can from Good Spirits, Glasgow. Black with no head. Perhaps not the most stated of stouts but there's enough here, especially in its aftertaste where its chocolate does linger long. Before that its aroma and to an extent taste has some hoppiness and floralness about it.
