Nigel did you know there is a mini beer ferstival at the Malt Shovel this weekend?

No I didn't, thanks Matt I'll let Mrs Beer know as long as Mike Evans is still running the bar the beer should be in very good form

it's on fri, sat and sun. Beers are from Hertfordshire from these breweries

Beers will be featured from the following breweries:

ALEHOUSE
BUNTINGFORD
GREEN TYE
McMULLEN
RED SQUIRREL
SAWBRIDGEWORTH
TRING.

Thanks Matt we went tonight

Hertfordshire is not my favourite area for brewers but the beer was good if not outstanding

Northamptonshire has high quality brewers especialy Potbelly and Gt Oakley and this was again confirmed tonight

The Malt Shovel owner saw Mrs Beer and rushed over to talk with her (he proved there that with age comes great wisdom).

At the end Mrs Beer almost went on to the Strawberry lager as she'd been thro' the beer range and had just missed out on the 6% Buntingford Malt Shovel Special Porter but went back to the Red Squirrel Ruby Mild

The McMullen Cask Ale at 3.8% was the best of the Hertfordshire beers for me

Nice to see a town centre pub with a good mix of youngsters, old farts and old soaks all enjoying themserlves without the need for arguing, fighting (well no one spilt Mrs Beer's drink) or throwing up

Good pub the Malt Shovel, shame they are not doing any guest Ciders, might pop down thou for some of the Scumpy thou.

If you like cider the guru is Paul at another good pub the Queen Adelaide 50 Manor Road, Kingsthorpe, NN2 6QJ

The beer is also very good there

Andy, pop to the Malt on the first Tuesday of the month and you can join the other PH boy boozers.
