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.

440ml can from St Albans beer shop, St Albans, Herts. An almost black coloured pour with a huge beige head on top. Roasty, malty, coffee, slight chocolate taste and aroma. Big bitter coffee in this, no sweetness. Quite decent but overly bitter for me.
