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 @ Northern Monk Refectory, Manchester. Deeper clear golden with a creamy-frothy head. Candy-sweet flavoured brew, although not quite as intense as it might be, nor does it have a sticky-sweet texture.

Keighley & Worth Valley Railway Beer Festival 2023. Golden hoppy-fruity brew. It never gets stated in either aroma or taste but this subtle tropical fruity effort remains flavoursome regardless.

Cask @ Fox And Goose, Hebden Bridge. Black with a very light-brown creamy-frothy head. Winter spiced version of bad kitty, although the additions are light and its fair strength is uncompromised in terms of taste.

Clear golden beer, white head. Light malty, fruity aroma. Flavour has light but distinct cherry uo front, a little nuttiness, a breadiness to it and does manage to.combine in a way that's a bit cakey and doesn't even do badly on the body front. Super sessionable.
