A group of friends working from the premise that beer is a noble drink and ought to be treated like one. The genuinely distinctive thing here is that the entire range, every single beer, is both gluten-free and vegan, which very few breweries can claim.
Brass Castle's range covers a lot of ground: Squeeze, a 0.5% grapefruit IPA bursting with citrus; Sour Lips, a strawberry and lime sour; Beowulf, a Helles lager with honeycomb and bread crust notes; and Hoptical Illusion, a Comet and Citra pale ale loaded with grapefruit. There's Call-Out, a session pale brewed to support the Scarborough and Ryedale Mountain Rescue Team, and Bad Kitty, a chewy chocolate-vanilla porter.
