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.

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - deep amber with a white to beige head. Nose - cherry, cherry stone and like cakiness. Taste - cherry and orange mainly. Still some cake lurking and at the very end there's a bit of almond and cherry stone coming through. Palate - light bodied, tangy middle and finish. Some sweetness. Overall - not bad.

440ml can at the Rook & Gaskill, York September 2023. Near black in colour, with a creamy, beige, head. Big coffee character upfront, followed by liquorice and then a long lasting chocolate sweetness, leading to a warming finish. Very good.
