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-conditioned at the Slip Inn, York, 24 October 2022. Golden in colour, with a moderately-sized, white, head. Floral hops, tangerine and pineapple fruits, light maltiness, some white pepper and a dryish finish. Enjoyable.

Black beer, light head. Smells fruity and peaty. Flavour has plenty of peat, bitter malt, some cherry, dark chocolate. Smooth, smoky, tasty and very much a sipper.

Dark pour with a tan head; quite strong smoky aroma, some roasted malt and cherry; tastes of smoke at first, then sour cherry, some cream, solid finish. Interesting, but did not really work for me.

Taste is malt, caramel, grain, with juicy tropical fruit, stone fruit, spicy citrus, and resiny hop bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry hoppy bitter finish. Nicely drinkable.

Rocky tan head on a dark brown still body. Smoked, medicinal & malt aroma. Medium bodied, smooth on the tongue thinning out to a limp back. Malt & smokey tastes quickly subside to leave white wine, sour & pithy tastes. Something wrong here surely - All mixed up.
