And the crowd goes wild! Only years of dedicated practice gets you to the top of the podium. No one knows this better than our light but mighty Golden Champion.

Bright, crisp and floral, this winner of a golden ale gets its refreshing elderflower notes from Goldings and WGV hops. Medal-worthy indeed. But unlike the vaulting harvest mouse, you won’t have to bend over backwards to enjoy it.

Just the ticket, refreshing golden floral beer after a painting day. Cooling and so much taste. Loving these Badger beers!

FAQs

Questions brewing? You'll find plenty of helpful answers in our FAQs.

We believe Golden Champion 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.

Light, crisp and refreshing, our golden ale pairs wonderfully with a goats cheese flatbread - a combination that deserves its place on the podium.

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

This award-winning golden ale is brewed year-round and continues to be available online and in most national grocers.

We'd love to see Golden Champion 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 Golden Champion chilled and ready to enjoy in bottle form in the fridge though!
