Badger Beer
It was deep in Dorset’s rolling hills and patchwork fields, in 1777, that local farmer Charles Hall brewed our first beer. A union of the Hall & Woodhouse families soon followed and the story of Badger beer had begun.
To create the distinctive character of our delicious Badger beers, we combine hops and malted barley with pure spring water which has been filtered naturally through the Cretaceous chalk downs of Dorset. Our comprehensive range of cask and bottled beers, all with distinctive characters, are available throughout the year, although our offering does vary seasonally.
We’ve listed the entire range of our delicious Badger Beers below; however, the range we stock can change throughout the year, so please speak to a member of our team to check our current offer.

Gin
Quintessentially English and brimming with style, we love gin for its complex yet delicate labyrinth of flavours. It gets its aromatic notes from the juniper berries, as well as the additional botanicals selected by the distiller, with each distiller creating their own unique concoction. Below is a selection of our favourite gins, handpicked for you to enjoy!

Whitley Neill Rhubarb & Ginger
Inspired by the glory of English country gardens, the essence of rhubarb adds a tart, crisp edge to the smooth English gin base, whilst the ginger extract warms the palate for a full-bodied finish.
Vodka
Despite packing a powerful punch, the word ‘vodka’ comes from the Slavic word ‘voda’, meaning water. Water it isn’t, but it does make the perfect accompaniment for one of our delicious tonics.
VODKA
Black Cow
The only vodka made entirely from milk, which results in an exceptionally smooth finish & unique creamy character. It is made at The Black Cow Distillery, located right in the heart of Childhay Manor organic farm, set in the beautiful rolling countryside of West Dorset.

Rum
If rum makes you conjure up images of pirates and sailors brandishing wooden barrels and singing “yo, ho, ho and a bottle of rum!” you’re not far wrong. That’s because as a Caribbean commodity we’ve been shipping this sugary spirit to English shores since the 17th Century. Here’s our pick of some of the tastiest rums going.
Flor De Cana 7 Gran Reserva
