I am pleased to say that following visits to the Malt Shovel Tavern I have to congratulate you on the Gobble beer that you provide. I am 67 years old and it is by far the best I have ever had -Well done.

You know where you are with Wot’s!

When I’m in the Malt Shovel Tavern my favourite session beer is Wot’s Occurring. Not too strong and full of flavour – I enjoy many of the other beers as well but seem always to go back to Wot’s!

Probably the best beer I have ever tasted – closely followed by Wot’s Occuring. Am looking forward to my Christmas polypin and will be tasting regularly at the Red Lion Middleton thereafter.

Absolutely love going to the Malt Shovel before Cobblers games..actually think a pint of Harpers and the Great Oakley range is the excuse for travelling 40 miles!
Northamptonian, so bias, but…One of the best – if not best ales ever tasted throughout the country!

Over the last week discovered ‘Wot’s Occurring’ (bottled), brought from local wine merchant (Amp’s, of Oundle), an instant favourite for me! Hoping I will see it more widely distributed in the future.

The pint I had at the Coach & Horses, Wellingborough was the best beer I have tasted this year

The Malt Shovel is a renowned free house which has specialised for years in serving beers from smaller craft brewers.

The beer from Great Oakley was well made, professional, well-balanced and rich in malt and hop flavours

Delapre Dark

wootton — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 11:02:35 +0000

I seemed to have quite a few milds at this festival, but this was a genuine dark ale. Deep ruby with thin beige head. Decent dark beer with lots of dark fruits. Rather a lovely aroma of choc and then velvety choc on the end. Actually superb and just as good as their dark mild.
