Hall & Woodhouse Brewery ~ Established 1777 ~ Blandford, Dorset

In 1777 Charles Hall, an entrepreneurial gentleman farmer, built his Brewery in the Dorset village of Ansty. Fortunately for him, Dorset farmers are hard-working — and thirsty — and business was good.

Badger beer is the golden thread running through our business. In fact, we are so protective of our beer quality that our prized cask ale is only served in our pubs. Lovers of Badger beer outside the South of England can now find our award-winning ales in Australia.

The seventh and eighth generation of the Hall & Woodhouse family are at the helm and proud to be a leading independent regional brewer with a beautiful collection of pubs. We continue to ensure that we remain a fiercely independent family company at the forefront of British brewing.
