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.

On cask at Brass Castle Tap Room Malton - Clear yellow body, solid creamy white top. Sharp citrussy bite to this one, a bit grassy in the nose, but more kick to the taste. Not much else going on.

440ml can from Fram Ferment. Gluten Free. Hazy yellow gold colour, white foam head leaving lacing and aroma of fruity funk with feijoa notes. Taste is sour, citric rind, pale malt, with fruity feijoa, and some saltiness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry sour finish. Nicely drinkable.

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - hazy to cloudy yellow with a lively snow white head. Nose - funky kiwi and greengage. Light dirty yeast note. Taste - yeah, an orchard and citrus combo which gets me to kiwi and greengage again. Palate - light to medium bodied, tangy, sour finish. Good linger. Overall - lovely stuff.

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - not lively but highly carbonated, I'd say. Hazy yellow with a big foamy white head. Nose - apricot, ripe melon and pine. Taste - ripe melon, orange, pine and resin. Palate - light bodied, proper bitterness like a West Coast IPA. Overall - good.
