In 2011, the brewery was set up in a garage and produced four casks at a time. Within two months Brass Castle had won Champion Beer at the York CAMRA Beer Festival. Within six months, brewing moved to Lord Halifax’s historic Garrowby Estate brewhouse and now Brass Castle is based in Malton town centre.
The brewery can produce up to 130 casks of beer a week. In addition to a wide range of cask ales, some beers are bottled and others are put into kegs. All the beer produced at Brass Castle is vegan and vegetarian friendly.
The town centre location means that the brewery is always open to visitors and a Tap Room is open twice a month serving freshly-brewed beers on site. There is also a bottled beer and home-brew shop on site.
Sunshine is described as a hybrid of a traditional English IPA using Yorkshire malts and yeasts with bold new world hops.
One very cool thing to notice about the label, is that the Brass Castle script reads the same when turned upside down.
