Badger Beer
It was deep in Dorset’s rolling hills and patchwork fields, in 1777, that local farmer Charles Hall brewed our first beer. A union of the Hall & Woodhouse families soon followed and the story of Badger beer had begun.
To create the distinctive character of our delicious Badger beers, we combine hops and malted barley with pure spring water which has been filtered naturally through the Cretaceous chalk downs of Dorset. Our comprehensive range of cask and bottled beers, all with distinctive characters, are available throughout the year, although our offering does vary seasonally.
BADGER BEER
TANGLE FOOT
Cask 4.7% ABV
Bottle 5% ABV
The Godfather of all of our beers. A deceptively drinkable and multi award winning golden ale. Finest English Flagon barley, Goldings and Challenger hops deliver balanced flavours of crisp and subtle hop, with a delicate pear drop aroma.
THE FURSTY FERRET
Cask 4.1% ABV
Bottle 4.4% ABV
A morishly malty, amber ale. Dark crystal malt delivers a full bodied biscuity taste, rounded off with a subtle floral and lemon hop aroma.
BADGER BEST
Cask 3.7% ABV
Inspired and developed with the hop growers and merchants Charles Faram, the Celeia, Bobek and Dana hops provide a refreshing flavour that is both thirst-quenching and characterful. The hops are added in the brew house and dry hopped in the fermentation vessel, to ensure this classic beer retains its character to the last drop.
THE WICKED WYVERN
Draught 5.0% ABV
This West Coast style IPA is brewed with Amarillo, Cascade and Mosaic hops. The beer has a flaring deep bronze colour and a citrus aroma of zesty grapefruit with a bitter hop character and a dry hoppy finish. A wonderfully refreshing and well-balanced beer.

Bottle 4.4% ABV
A refreshingly light, hoppy pale ale. A marriage of aromatic citrus American Amarillo and Cascade hops and the finest English Flagon barley.
THE GOLDEN CHAMPION
Bottle 4.5% ABV
A light golden ale with floral hints of elderflower. Light and refreshing, providing a crisp taste of summer.
THE BLANDFORD FLYER
Bottle 5.2% ABV
A uniquely sweet and spicy golden ale with a refreshingly different ginger taste, which is offset with hints of sweet toffee.
THE CRANBORNE POACHER
Bottle 5.7% ABV
A bold, fruity, ruby ale. Crystal and chocolate malts provide a full bodied taste with sweet and complex flavours of damson and liquorice.
