When is National Burger Day UK?
National Burger Day UK falls on Thursday, 21 August 2025, offering burger lovers across the country a tasty excuse to indulge in their favourite bites. This delicious day celebrates all things burgers, with restaurants, pubs, and eateries putting on special deals, inventive creations, and mouthwatering menus just for the occasion. It’s the perfect moment to gather friends, enjoy a juicy burger with a Badger Beer, and relish the feel-good flavours that make summer memorable.
Why Beer and Burger Pairings Matter
A burger without a proper beer? That’s just sad. Pairing properly makes every bite sing. Think cheeseburger + West Coast or BBQ burger + Fursty Ferret; flavour combinations that hit the sweet spot and make your taste buds dance.
Badger Classic Premium Bottled Ales
Badger Fursty Ferret Amber Ale
Malty, biscuity goodness with a hint of crisp, lemon hops. Pair with smoky bacon, melty cheddar, or caramelised onions and make every bite even better.
Badger Golden Champion Golden Ale
Light, golden, and effortlessly refreshing with hints of elderflower, this one’s a real crowd pleaser. Perfect with lighter burgers, fresh herbs, or vibrant toppings.
Side by side with Fursty Ferret, it’s proof that great beers bring out the best in any burger.
Outland Craft Range
Outland Blonde
Smooth, golden, fruity and divine; our Belgian-style Blonde is endlessly versatile. Pair it with a juicy chicken burger, spicy toppings, or even a classic veggie stack for a crisp, balanced match.
Outland West Coast IPA
Bold, bitter, and citrus-charged. Our West Coast IPA cuts through melted cheese, bacon, or any over-the-top toppings trying to steal the spotlight. Clean finish. Total hero for stacked, fully-loaded burgers.
Outland NEIPA
Juicy, smooth and silky with a golden haze; our New England IPA is a natural partner for BBQ-style or glazed patties. Sweet, smoky, and tangy flavours balance beautifully against its fruity character.
