Hawkstone Brewery
About
Hawkstone Brewery is a family‑run microbrewery nestled on the picturesque college farm in Bourton‑on‑the‑Water, Gloucestershire. The brewery crafts a range of lager, cider, gin, and vodka using locally sourced ingredients, and the building itself is a charming mix of Cotswold stone craftsmanship and modern brewing technology. Visitors can enjoy a two‑hour guided tour that showcases the lagering process, the history of the brewery, and a sampling of its flagship beers. The on‑site taproom, known as the Hawkstone Arms, serves fresh pints daily from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on weekdays and to 8:00 p.m. on weekends, complete with a rotating selection of food trucks from local pop‑up kitchens. Whether you’re a beer connoisseur, a history enthusiast, or simply seeking a relaxing afternoon with friends, Hawkstone offers a memorable and immersive experience in the heart of the Cotswold Hills.
