The Secret to the Perfect Beer Batter

Creating the perfect beer batter starts with selecting a beer that enhances the flavour of your dish without overpowering it. Within the Badger and Outland ranges, we have an excellent range of choices to suit any recipe.

Here are our top picks from Badger…

Badger Golden Champion: This crisp, light ale with delicate elderflower notes is perfect for a beer batter that adds a touch of sweetness to your fish or onion rings.

Badger Tangle Foot: This golden ale provides a deeper, malty flavour, creating a rich and robust batter that’s perfect for heartier fish, like cod.

In comparison, Outland brings a modern twist to traditional beer recipes, offering unique flavours that can transform your beer batter. We recommend:

Outland India Pale Lager: A clean and crisp lager hybrid that adds a refreshing lightness to your batter, making it ideal for beer battered fish and chips.

Outland West Coast IPA: For those who enjoy a bit of a hoppy kick, this IPA introduces subtle bitterness and citrus notes, perfect for a distinctive beer battered cod.
