Hawkstone Hedgerow Fruit Cider is a refreshing British fruit cider from Jeremy Clarkson’s Hawkstone range. Bottled at 4% ABV, it takes the crisp apple character of Hawkstone’s classic cider and adds a darker, juicier berry profile through the use of British-farmed blackcurrants and blackberries.
Known as “The Juicy One”, Hawkstone Hedgerow is made for cider drinkers who enjoy bright fruit flavour without losing freshness. It brings together freshly pressed British apple juice, red berry sweetness, bramble fruit and a clean, crisp finish, making it an easy choice for summer drinking, barbecues, garden parties and fans of the wider Hawkstone range.
The Story Behind Hawkstone
Hawkstone was created through the partnership between Jeremy Clarkson and the Cotswold Brewing Company. Based near Bourton-on-the-Water in Gloucestershire, the brewery has strong links to British farming, countryside produce and proper local ingredients.
The Hawkstone name comes from the Hawk Stone, a Neolithic standing stone near Clarkson’s Diddly Squat Farm. The brand first became widely known for Hawkstone Lager, made using barley grown on the farm, before expanding into cider, IPA, vodka, gin and other drinks.
Hawkstone Hedgerow Fruit Cider continues that countryside-led approach, using British fruit to create a cider that feels fresh, characterful and easy to enjoy. It is a natural fit for customers looking for something fruitier than a classic apple cider, while still wanting a crisp and refreshing drink.
The Hawkstone Hedgerow Fruit Cider Release
The Hawkstone Hedgerow Fruit Cider is made with freshly pressed juice from British apples and blended with British-grown blackcurrants and blackberries. The result is a fruit cider with a deep berry character, balanced by the crisp apple freshness that keeps the finish clean and refreshing.
At 4% ABV, it is lighter than Hawkstone’s classic English Cider, but still full of flavour. The blackberry and blackcurrant character gives it a richer, darker fruit profile, while the apple base keeps the cider bright, balanced and easy drinking.
It sits within HTFW’s Beer & Cider selection alongside other Hawkstone releases, including Hawkstone English Cider, Hawkstone Premium English Lager and Hawkstone India Pale Ale.
Tasting Notes: Hawkstone Hedgerow Fruit Cider
Nose: Red fruits, bramble, juicy apple and a fresh hedgerow berry character.
Palate: Bold blackberry and blackcurrant lead the way, with sweet berry fruit balanced by crisp apple freshness.
Finish: Clean and refreshing, with lingering fruit, dry tannins and a slightly funky, complex edge.
Hawkstone Hedgerow Fruit Cider is juicy and fruit-forward, but it avoids becoming overly sweet. The apple freshness and gentle tannic edge keep it crisp, making it a very drinkable fruit cider with plenty of summer appeal.
How to Enjoy Hawkstone Hedgerow Fruit Cider
Hawkstone Hedgerow Fruit Cider is best served well chilled, either straight from the bottle or poured into a glass over ice.
Chilled: The simplest way to enjoy its blackberry, blackcurrant and crisp apple character.
Over ice: Ideal for warmer days, garden drinking and outdoor occasions.
With food: Works well with barbecue dishes, pork, burgers, charcuterie, mature cheddar, spicy snacks and fruit-led desserts.
As part of a Hawkstone selection: Pair it with Hawkstone English Cider or Hawkstone Lager for a mixed beer and cider case.
Its fruity but refreshing style makes it a strong choice for customers who enjoy cider with bold berry flavour but still want a clean, crisp finish.
