Description
Hawkstone is the brainchild of Jeremy Clarkson and Rick and Emma from the Cotswold Brew Co. Having put blood, sweat and tears into cultivating his malting barley, Jeremy was determined that it be put to good use, so resolved to supply it directly to a local brewery to turn into lager. He was introduced to Rick and Emma from the Cotswold Brewery by the landlord at their local and they hit it off immediately. Like Jeremy, they’re committed to supporting local agriculture but they’re not just good people, they’re also excellent brewers. They created Hawkstone Lager - a brew of such exquisite quality that Jeremy decided to invest.

330ml can shared. Nothing bad about it, just a fairly average lager. Forgettable

A bang average beer. Nothing to offend but give me ten minutes and I'll remember much good about. Cold and inoffensive, it'd do in a pinch.

Draft at the Pint Shop. As expected for a lager, pale golden with small foamy head.Crisp grain bill with a nice crisp bite, small hop presence, mostly some tasty grains. Refreshing.
