About
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.

Can at Fox & Goose, Hebden Bridge. Hazy golden with a small head. There's lots of blueberry in its nose, but it gets slightly more soured in its taste, however there's still plenty here too.

Third, keg, shared with Finn at Queens Crafthouse. Clear golden body, patchy white head, spotty lacing. Moderate aromas of citrus, hints of lemon. Moments of lemon and grapefruit to the taste character. A ending touch of citrus peels. Satisfying. (Doncaster 28.01.2020).

Can at Fox & Goose, Hebden Bridge. Hoppy-fruity, but in this respect it's not obviously pineapple you can taste. It's also not a true 'hefe' taste, but the styling is there.

Can from Fox & Goose, Hebden Bridge. Saw this at the Manchester Beer Festival and the Crown & Kettle in Manchester. Very dangerous as it does not taste like a double-digit strength brew. There's actually not a lot of roasted malt flavour, it's just very pleasantly smooth tasting in its dark malts, with its coconut more obvious in its aroma. The toasted part does feel a bit spicy in its aftertaste.
