|---|---|---|---|
| Badger (Hall & Woodhouse) - Line Break - Red English Ale | 3.80 | | This seasonal Red English Ale was in tiptop condition with a good head and lacing and lasting to the end. Its name, Line Break, and colouring is inspired by the Six Nations rugby tournament and the English Red Rose team. A lightly fruited hoppy first hit. A gentle bitterness rising with a biscuity touch emanating from its kilned malts and roasted barley. A moreish hoppiness winning over from its mix of traditional British hops, likely to be Goldings, Fuggles, or Challenger, and modern aromatic hops lending it dry fruited notes lingering before cascading out. Based on other Badger red ales, these hops are likely to be fruity Harlequin and Solero or Jester and Amarillo. |

The pub is found in Horsham, West Sussex, RH12 1QR.
A very picturesque pub located in the town centre at 12 Bishopric and formerly called The Olive Branch when belonging to the King & Barnes tied estate, a prominent family-owned brewery based in Horsham for nearly a century. It neighbours the Wetherspoon’s named Lynd Cross, which is the 14th-century name for the major junction in Horsham between the roads now known as Bishopric and Springfield Road. This ancient pub was according to historical records, once the centre of administration for the lord of the manor. The Green Dragon boasts two sizeable fire places, wooden floors and beams. The original building is believed to date from circa 1449 and is timber-framed with wattle and daub panels. It is now run by Hall & Woodhouse from 2000, an independent, family-owned regional brewer established in 1777 and from Blandford St Mary, roughly 13–14 miles south-east of Poole, in Dorset. Famous for its Badger beers, it has an extensive estate of over 200 pubs across the South of England. The pub is mainly restaurant-oriented but retains a bar at the front. Three real ales available on a visit in January 2026 and all from Badger, the independent, family-owned brewing arm of Hall & Woodhouse, famous for its ales and nearly 250 years of Dorset-based heritage.
