Even if you've never tried Hawkstone before, there's a good chance you've already seen it. Created by Jeremy Clarkson using barley grown on his Diddly Squat Farm and featured throughout Clarkson's Farm, Hawkstone started as a way of adding value to the crops grown on the farm. What began as a TV storyline has grown into one of Britain's fastest-growing beer brands, proving there's substance behind the celebrity connection. The beer itself is a proper premium lager. Bright, crisp, and refreshing, with subtle citrus notes, gentle malt sweetness, and a clean bitterness that keeps everything balanced. It's brewed with British barley and given plenty of time to mature, resulting in a lager with more flavour and character than many of the mass-market alternatives. What works so well is its simplicity. There's no attempt to reinvent lager or turn it into something it isn't. Instead, Hawkstone focuses on doing the basics exceptionally well: quality ingredients, careful brewing, and a finish that leaves you wanting another sip. Whether you're a fan of Clarkson's Farm or couldn't care less who's behind it, this is a genuinely good lager. The TV connection might get it into your basket, but the beer itself is what keeps people coming back.
