Green Duck Beer Co., founded in 2012–13 in Stourbridge by a tight‑knit team of friends, produces a broad range of modern, hop‑forward beers—think Blonde, Session IPA, American Pale, Zesty Pale, and rich Milds and Porters—in cask, keg, can, and bottle formats. The brewery also develops rotating specials like Moondance and Choc‑a‑Block Stout, all brewed in-house on a 10‑barrel system. Their taproom, dubbed the Badelynge Bar, blends industrial American‑style brewhouse views with biergarten seating and hosts up to 18 taps alongside pizzas, cocktails, live events and comedy nights. Operated entirely independently, with no investors, they've invested in a canning line via crowdfunding and continue to expand outreach via collaborations and local community ventures.
