Always Vegan
We believe that great beer doesn’t need animal products—so we never use them. Unlike many breweries that rely on isinglass (a fish-derived clarifying agent) or add lactose for body, we’ve found alternative methods. Our house yeast, a traditional English ale strain, helps us achieve exceptional clarity and mouthfeel without unnecessary additives. That’s why every sip of our beer delivers pure, uncompromised flavour, crafted with care for both people and the planet.
Always GLUTEN FREE
Beyond being 100% vegan, our beers are also gluten-free. We use a tiny amount of a vegan -friendly enzyme during fermentation that breaks down gluten without altering taste or quality. Every batch of beer is tested at certified UK labs to meet strict gluten free standards. While many breweries might produce one or two gluten-free options to cater to specific dietary needs, we’ve taken a different approach. Every single beer in our range is entirely gluten-free, ensuring that anyone with gluten sensitivities can enjoy our brews without compromise. We believe that beer should be accessible to all, and that commitment is reflected in our entire line-up. By making our entire production gluten-free, we’ve eliminated the guesswork for our customers, so they can confidently choose from any beer we offer, knowing it’s crafted with their needs in mind. Whether it’s a bold IPA or a smooth porter, anyone can enjoy our beers, without worrying about gluten or animal products sneaking in.
Brewing with a Conscience: Our Social Responsibility
Sustainable Brewing: All spent grain and hops from our brewing process are repurposed. Spent grain goes to an-aerobic digesters to create biogas and fertilizers, and spent hops are sent to local allotments to nourish the soil
Thoughtful Packaging: We prioritize reusable steel kegs, but when we do use one-way Keykegs, we collect and recycle them to minimize waste. Our cans are shipped in cardboard packaging, which many customers return to us for reuse.
Efficient Resource Use: We constantly review how we use water and cleaning chemicals, making sure we minimize waste and environmental impact.
Community Focus: Brass Castle is deeply rooted in Malton, and we’re proud to be part of Yorkshire’s vibrant food and drink scene. We actively engage with the local community and always look for ways to reduce our impact on the environment around us.
Every can reflects our unwavering commitment to doing things the right way—ethically, sustainably, and with purpose. We believe that craft beer can be a force for good, which is why we’re always striving to improve how we operate, reduce our environmental footprint, and give back to the community that supports us. It’s not just about following trends or ticking boxes; it’s about embedding sustainability into everything we do, from grain to glass. We’re always looking for new ways to raise the bar and shape a future where craft brewing is kinder to the planet and to the people who call it home.
Cheers to that!
