We’ve scoured the world to find the best drinks available including our very own range of Badger beers, which have been brewed in the heart of the Dorset countryside since 1777 and are only sold in Hall & Woodhouse pubs. There’s also lagers and wines from around the world, refreshing ciders, soft drinks and an ever increasing range of spirits, particularly local and regional gins. So whether it’s relaxing by a fire or whiling away those long spring and summer evenings you’re guaranteed to find something to quench your thirst.
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.
How we love a good cider; it’s the perfect refreshment – crisp and sweet yet tantalisingly tangy. Cider has a long history, with the Romans getting their first taste of the appley brew during their invasion of Britain. Fast forward to the 18th Century and farm labourers were paid by the pint! Below are just a few of our delicious ciders, we’ve not listed our entire range though, so make sure pop in to see our latest selection.
Who knows the difference between ale and lager? Well it all comes down to the yeast and brewing temperature (lagers are brewed using a process of cool fermentation and maturation), we won’t go into all the details here, but suffice to say our range of lagers below are all celebrated for their crisp and refreshing finish.
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!
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.
Our eclectic wine list contains all of your favourites from around the world, from refreshing whites featuring Chenin Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Picpoul de Pinet and Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc grape varieties, to reds packed with fruit flavours and featuring Shiraz, Merlot, Rioja and Malbec grapes. And if that’s enough our rosé and sparkling wines and Champagnes are ideal for those long summer evenings watching the World go by.
You’ll have noticed there are two spellings for this superior spirit – ‘whiskey’ and ‘whisky’. Despite there being just one letter between them, the difference is significant. Get it wrong, and the country of origin will become rather tetchy. To put it simply, ‘whiskey’ comes from Ireland and America, whilst ‘whisky’ comes from Scotland.
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.
