Barsham Brewery Oaks Session Bitter 3.6% — 500ml

WHATAHOOT LTD

£3.99

The session beer in the range, and the one that quietly wins people over. Amber in the glass, gentle caramel malt through the middle, and a clean Mosaic hop finish that keeps it fresh rather than heavy. At 3.6% it's built for the second and third pint. Oaks takes its name from the centuries-old copse of oak trees standing at the centre of the West Barsham Estate — the sort of landmark that's been there longer than anyone's been brewing on it. Tasting notes: Amber, soft caramel malt, clean balanced Mosaic hop finish ABV: 3.6% Style: Session bitter Brewed: West Barsham Estate, North Norfolk — es

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.
