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.

29/11/2025. Can at the ITFC beer share. From Norwich Arts Centre fundraiser following World Beer Awards. Aroma is chocolate, coffee, malt, vanilla, ashy edge. Medium sweet, moderate roasted bitterness. Quite watery. Oily. Average carbonation. Lacks body but it’s quite likeable.

Pilegrimsleden går alltid via The Wheatsheaf i Borough Market, og det er mange år siden den ble "changed beyond recognition". Fra fat: klar gylden med fint skum som varer. Brød/lys malt, mild citrus og like milde urter. Behagelig furunålsbitterhet i avslutningen. Balansert og lettdrikkelig.
