Sunshine, Brass Castle Brewery, 5.7% ABV
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.

It was all going so well- home brewing screw-up part one
I had an opportunity to brew at short notice. I hadn’t planned ahead, but fortunately had all the required ingredients. (Except I later realised that I didn’t have any yeast, until I then realised that I actually did, but that was way after the fact). So in between getting on with some work, I set…
