Save bees by drinking a Dorset-brewed beer this summer.

Brewer’s Bee - made by Badger Beer from Hall & Woodhouse - is back.

Badger will donate 5p from every pint sold to Dorset Wildlife Trust’s summer campaign ‘Get Dorset Buzzing’.

The campaign focuses on the plight of declining bee populations - people are being asked to do at least one thing in their garden to help bees.

Ale drinkers can do their bit too - keep your eyes peeled for the ‘flying bee’ attached to all pump clips at participating Hall & Woodhouse pubs.

The clip insert has been inspired by a traditional wooden firkin of beer but with a black and yellow striped design, representing a bee.

Badger Beer has been brewed in Dorset since 1777. Its popular Brewer’s Bee is a classic golden tawny brew containing real honey which comes through in the floral aroma.

The beer has light hop notes and a biscui-ty backdrop, with an ABV of 4.4%.

The beer is available exclusively on cask in select Hall & Woodhouse pubs across the south of England, from May until July 2019.

Sarah Pace, brand manager for Badger Beer, said: “We are delighted to be bringing back our popular Brewer’s Bee seasonal ale for the summer. With its floral honey aroma and light hop notes it works extremely well as a light, refreshing, summer ale both on its own and with food.

“The beer was first launched in 2013 and fared exceptionally well and as corporate sponsors of the Dorset Wildlife Trust, we thought it the perfect time to bring it back to support the ‘Get Dorset Buzzing’ campaign.”
