Badger and Outland Celebrate 10 Wins Across Two Prestigious Awards
2026 has been a brilliant year for the Badger Brewery, with beers from both the Badger and Outland ranges recognised at the World Beer Awards 2026 and Great Taste Awards 2026.
From familiar favourites with years of character behind them to newer brews with a more adventurous streak, the awards are a proud nod to the skill, curiosity and care that go into brewing here in Dorset.

- Silver for Outland East of Eden in the IPA – Milkshake IPA/New England IPA category.
- Bronze for Badger Fursty Ferret in the Pale Beer – Amber category.
- Bronze for Badger Master Stoat in the Flavoured Beer – Chocolate & Coffee category.
Great Taste Awards 2026
The celebrations continued at this year’s Great Taste Awards, where THREE beers from our brewery were recognised by the Guild of Fine Food's expert judging panel.
Badger Iron Hart, Badger Fursty Ferret and Outland East of Eden each received a prestigious 1-Star Great Taste Award, awarded to products judged to deliver outstanding flavour.
