Founder’s Day 2026
Each Founder’s Day on June 8th, we bring out a special limited-edition beer to celebrate the founding of Hall & Woodhouse back in 1777. In the countdown to our 250th anniversary, we are celebrating key people from the history of Hall and Woodhouse, the home of Badger Beers. 2026 marks the fourth beer in our limited-edition series with a special ale dedicated to Hannah and George Edward Woodhouse.
Hannah and George Edward Woodhouse
Edward, as he was known, crossed the Atlantic seeking adventure. In time he returned to Dorset and found something better, the love of his life.
Edward married Charles Hall’s granddaughter Hannah Dodge in 1847 and the two families became one, creating Hall & Woodhouse.
