Hall & Woodhouse

In 1777, Charles Hall, a Dorset farmer, founded a brewery in the Dorset village of Ansty to provide beer to General Clinton’s troops who were stationed on the south coast before being shipped to America to fight the pesky Colonialists. He became the embodiment of the Georgian Merchant. 60 years later, his son Robert made his nephew, Edward Woodhouse, a partner and Hall & Woodhouse was born.
