Barsham Brewery Golden Close IPA 5.0% — 500ml

WHATAHOOT LTD

£3.99

A true-to-style English IPA, made the unfashionable way and better for it. Estate-grown Maris Otter malt gives it a golden body with real backbone, then a generous charge of Boadicea hops brings the bitterness and a long, resinous finish. It's named after Golden Close, one of the prettiest fields on the West Barsham Estate and one of the places the barley in your glass actually grew. Very few beers can point at a field. Tasting notes: Golden and clean, firm Boadicea hop bitterness, dry resinous finish ABV: 5.0% Style: English IPA Brewed: West Barsham Estate, North Norfolk — estate-grown Maris

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as WHATAHOOT LTD, number 11118720. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
