Characterful beers since 1777.
A Badger beer is more than just a beer. It’s rich in history. Deep in character. Full of expertise. Crafted with the finest ingredients. And passionately made in our independent, family-owned brewery.
Each one is inspired by the beautiful county we call home - Dorset. Be it a mythical legend, a colourful tale or the stunning countryside that surrounds our riverside brewery.
And although a couple of our tales are mythical, you can always rely on every Badger beer to be distinctive, unique and packed with flavour.
A history as
rich as our beers.
Seven generations and nearly two-and-a-half centuries later, we’re still independent and brewing the finest, characterful beers.
