Who are Hawkstone?
Their mission - “To honour the blood sweat and tears of British farmers by turning their barley, wheat, apples and botanicals into the world’s best beer, cider and spirits”
Farming isn’t just “how” Hawkstone is made - it’s “why” it’s made. Having put blood, sweat and tears into cultivating his malting barley, Jeremy Clarkson was determined that it be put to good use, so supplied it directly to a local brewery to turn into lager.
Master brewer Rick Keene created the original lager and has overseen the expansion of the award-winning range, including a regular rotation of limited editions to keep things fresh. Hawkstone Cider was launched with the same authentic farming story - always British apples, never from concentrate - this time in partnership with the phenomenon that is Kaleb Cooper.
Every Hawkstone product is a unique combination of hard work, quality ingredients, brewing expertise and personality. This shines through everything they do, giving Hawkstone a distinct tone and making it a thoroughly modern, influencer-driven brand.
