Hawkstone Lager

Hawkstone Lager is a lager created by television presenter and farmer Jeremy Clarkson using ingredients grown at his Diddly Squat Farm in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, England. It is brewed by Cotswold Brewing Co. near Bourton-on-the-Water, Gloucestershire. Jeremy Clarkson is a British television personality who owns Diddly Squat Farm in Oxfordshire and has been running it since 2019 for the purposes of the Amazon Prime Video documentary Clarkson's Farm. Due to a lowering of government farm subsidies, in 2021 he decided to make a lager beer using barley grown on his farm. After consulting with his farm workers, he decided it should have a 4.8 ABV. Clarkson had to have the beer rebrewed after an initial attempt due to it failing a blind taste test against a nearby local beer. It was originally planned to only be sold at Clarkson's farm shop, but was later sold on Amazon as well. The beer was criticised for competing with local brewers and potentially drawing business away from them.
