Badger Brewery has taken eight accolades at the World Beer Awards, for both its established premium bottled ales and its craft beer brand Outland, launched last year.
Outland Ginger Pale Ale won both a gold medal and a country winner award in the flavoured beer category, with Badger’s Blandford Fly and Cranborne Poacher both taking silver medals in the same class.
Outland Milk Stout and Outland West Coast IPA won silver and bronze medals respectively, while Badger’s Fursty Ferret and Master Stoat Coffee Stout both took bronze medals.
These medals follow success for Badger in the Great Taste Awards earlier this year, where Fursty Ferret won a 2-star award, and a 1-star medal went to Cranborne Poacher.
“We pride ourselves on the quality of our beers, and winning awards is always a cause for celebration at Badger,” said head brewer Toby Heasman.
“We’re delighted with this wonderful endorsement of our beers, which is reflective of our commitment to always brew the best beers we can, using the finest ingredients.
“It was especially pleasing to win a country accolade for our Outland Ginger Pale Ale, as we only launched the range 18 months ago. Award wins like this validate our decision to move into the craft beer sector, to complement our traditional premium bottled and cask ales.
“These awards recognise the outstanding taste of our beers, which are created by our brewing team. We are grateful to them for their hard work to ensure that our premium bottled ales and innovative Outland beers consistently deliver the great taste that our loyal drinkers expect. Watch this space as we are regularly launching new variants to appeal to craft beer consumers.”
