September 28, 2007: With autumn now upon us, Dorset brewer Hall & Woodhouse has announced the launch of two new bottled Badger beers to refresh the body and warm the soul.

Pumpkin Ale is described as the perfect beer for Halloween. It is a premium 4.6% ABV autumn ale with hints of roast pumpkin cloves and peat.

This sweet and slightly smokey ale is especially recommended as an accompaniment to pumpkin pie, sticky toffee apples and carrot cake. The back label of the bottle features a recipe for a pumpkin ale soup.

Poacher's Choice, a liquorice and damson flavoured 5.7% ABV bottled beer, is Hall & Woodhouse's record fourth winner in the prestigious Tesco Drinks Awards.

Poacher's Choice is a smooth, dark ale enhanced by a touch of liquorice for spicy sweetness and damson for a soft, subtly fruity taste. Its robust flavours combine well with game, desserts and mature cheeses.

Head brewer Dr Tim Morris said: "By adding natural extracts to these two new beers we've been able to enhance their traditional flavours with an exciting combination of fruitiness and spicy bitterness.

"Pumpkin and Poacher's Choice were both carefully crafted through a series of tastings and refinements, and we're delighted with the end results."

Pumpkin Ale and Poacher's Choice are available now in Hall & Woodhouse pubs and selected branches of Tesco.
