Hewn from the mineral-rich bedrock of the Cotswold Hills, The Hawkstone, a Neolithic standing stone which gives our lager its name has stood for generations. The Cotswold Brash soil in which it rests is hard and unforgiving. But for those who persist, it yields malting barley of unusually high quality - ideal for brewing. After harvest, our master brewer painstakingly and meticulously combines the barley with select hops, yeast and the purest water possible before allowing it to mature for up to 6 weeks, during which time it develops its distinctively clean flavour. Hard to make - easy to drink.
