Blandford Fly Golden Ale
£30.00
/ 5.2% ABV
With hints of toffee and ginger notes
Deep in the reeds of the River Stour, it lies in wait. Patiently. Ready for unsuspecting prey. Once feared by those who fish these waters, was the ferocious bite of the infamous Blandford Fly. Craftier fishermen know of a different Blandford Fly...
One with a sweeter side and refreshing notes of ginger (said to soothe the dastardly fly’s bite), and with hints of toffee to offset the spice, we think you’ll agree this unique golden ale is quite the catch.

This is my favourite beer bar none. Found it randomly in the then limited Ale aisle of a Tesco in deepest darkest South West Wales and have never looked back. The only changes over the years was the name change and the ongoing fight with my local supermarkets stock managers. Thank goodness for the direct delivery shopping has saved Christmas for the past 4/5 years; as far as i’m concerned ;). Oh and that I’ve realised that that I’m now thoroughly addicted to that hint of ginger and always have a spare ginger ale bottle around in case run low on the OG good stuff. I love me some BLANDFORD FLYer.

I’ve been many places and tried nearly thousands of beers. This one has become one of the best I ever had in life. It’s even difficult to find it to buy. I might have to order online. Great job, Badger brewers! (The branding is also amazing. I love the storytelling and design).

Blandford Fly a fine beer to have at the weekend and I bought 12 bottles via your delivery service. Keep up the good beer production.

All the beers are great. I just love working my way through them when I enjoy sitting down to an ale on the weekend. Love the fact that when I am at my UK Home my favourite Pub in Somerset ‘Worlds End’ does the beers on tap/draught. Sorry for the US ‘on tap’ term.
Great work guys. Get my weekend beers in Sainsburys.

This is an absolutely cracking ale. Light, refreshing, with subtle spices and a punch of ginger. Great with food or on it’s own at any time of year.
