About
The process of brewing beer hasn’t changed much since we started back in 1777. And neither has our unique approach to crafting characterful beer. But our equipment most certainly has.
Our state-of-the-art, independent, family-owned brewery now stands proudly alongside our old brewery on the banks of the River Stour in Blandford, Dorset. Using the finest ingredients and over 240 years of expertise, our brewers create beer that brims with flavour.

Badger Brewery Trio At Home Can#1 of 3. Traditional session bitter, feels like I've had this one quite a few times before, but the hop-malt balance here is good, the style spot-on. Slightly dry tasting, it's a dark clear amber colour with short-lived thick bubbly-frothy head out of its darker green tin.

An interesting English pale ale. A wind of autumn that it was perfect with our moonsoon summer, so rainy and wet. This one is perfumed, notes of licorice, plum, cynamon and automnal spices, dry malt, regular hop tha I have shared at Arbaz with Fred, 12.07.21.

Golden, clear, with a dense, fine-bubble head that leaves a pleasant lacing on the glass. The aroma is subtle, with a touch of malt, flowers, exotic fruit, and a disturbing metallic note. The body is full, rather dry, with medium carbonation. The taste is similar to the aroma, delicate and pleasant, but again, there's a hint of metal. Bitterness is subdued. OK.

Clear amber pour with a fluffy white head. Aromas of malt, blueberries, blackcurrants, some cherries and a hint cream. Taste is berries, malt, caramel. Not bad, but a bit all over the place.
