The story of Hawkstone from Jeremy Clarkson

Jeremy Clarkson is supporting British Farmers and British Pubs.

Welcome to Hawkstone Country!

We’ve put Hawkstone on at the Old Exeter Inn for three reasons. 1. It’s a fantastic product. 2. British Farming and British Pubs (in fact, the whole hospitality industry and its significant supply chain) is in tatters through Red Tape, absurd Government interference and gigantic amounts of Taxation that’s destroying what’s left of once great institutions. Decades of crap governance. Out of touch people in positions of greatness. Red. Blue. Red. Blue. And now utter maniac Reds. Our industry needs a voice. Jeremy Clarkson is a one-man campaigning machine through his programmes, wit and British humour. We like that. 3. Jeremy has entertained the nation for a long time. Top Gear and the Grand Tour is British clowning around to be proud of. The world seems to approve. And so do we. 

In the words of the great man himself –

It’s not just about our premium lager and cider, which you all love as much as we do. It’s about backing British farming and all the incredibly hard work that goes into keeping the UK running. You’re just as passionate about that too. So, from everyone at Hawkstone, we want to say thank you. We’re the 24th fastest growing company in Britain overall, and with no other beer brands ahead of us on the list, that makes us the fastest growing beer brand in Britain
