Cranborne Poacher

We believe Cranborne Poacher is suitable for vegetarians and vegans, as no animal-derived ingredients are intentionally used in the brewing process. However, we are not certified by a vegan society and do not routinely test to verify vegan status, so we cannot make an official vegan claim.

At present, we are unable to confirm whether the beer is gluten-free. As gluten is a regulated allergen, confirming a gluten-free claim requires laboratory testing of every batch. While we are exploring options to introduce this capability in the future, we cannot currently guarantee or validate the gluten content.

Rich and full-bodied, our ruby ale pairs beautifully with Cumberland sausage and mash - a combination as rewarding as stumbling across hidden treasure.

Our bottled ales are best enjoyed lightly chilled, around 10-14°C. Serving Cranborne Poacher too cold can mask some of the flavours, while a slightly warmer temperature helps bring out its full character.

No need to go searching too far. Cranborne Poacher is brewed year-round and remains available online and in most national grocers.

We'd love to see Cranborne Poacher on the bar too, but with limited cask space in our pubs, we can't pour every beer. Instead, we use our cask lines to showcase a range of Badger classics and seasonal favourites. You'll usually find Cranborne Poacher chilled and ready to enjoy in bottle form in the fridge though!
