Better value as a Hawkstonian which equates to a good price per drink. Delivery turnaround was fantastic as arrived 2 days after ordering. IPA and Premium lager are very smooth to drink.

Company details

  1. Brewery

Written by the company

When Jeremy Clarkson launched Hawkstone, he did it with a very clear purpose in mind; to honour the blood sweat and tears of British famers by turning their barley, wheat, apples and botanicals into the world's best beer, cider and spirits.

Hard to make, easy to drink

Written by the company

At Hawkstone, we don’t cut any corners when it comes to our brewing process. We use the best ingredients from British farms and always lager for longer. That’s why our lager and cider taste really f***ing good.

Hawkstone drinks are super refreshing.

I joined the online group to order the drinks on a monthly basis after trying them independently.
Since then the cider in particular has gone down a storm with friends but overall the drinks are super.
The order process is simple with plenty of options and delivery is spot on with plenty of notifications of its journey.

Great British Cider & Lager

Despite not being the biggest Jeremy Clarkson fan, I admire his dedication to promoting British farmers and using their produce. So I gave Hawkstone a try and ... wow, I fell in love with their cider. Their lager isn't bad for a hot summer drinkies. I have become a "Hawkstonian" and enjoy my regular delivery of cider, with a decent discount and free shipping.

I think these are some of the tastiest…

I think these are some of the tastiest Beers I’ve had for an awful long time, the IPA is outstanding. Meanwhile on a country lane forty years ago I was ill having indulged in too much Cider, I’ve never been able to drink it since, until now. The lack of a pungent Sulphur odour that comes with so many Ciders has reinvigorated my taste for something I was brought up with in Hereford, hallelujah to Hawkstone!

From Farmers to me!

Amazing service, no matter the service of any vendor the product has to be outstanding both the lager and the IPA are great beers. From our farmers to me is one of the key elements of me supporting this venture.
