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, Hall & Woodhouse 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 beers, all with distinctive characters, is available throughout the year, although our offering does vary seasonally.
See our drinks menuThe word Lager comes from the German word lagern which means, "To store". A perfect description as lagers are brewed with bottom fermenting yeast that works slowly at around 34 degrees Fahrenheit. Indeed some lagers are often further stored at a cool temperature to mature.
