Fantastic experience! The Hawkstone Brewery Tour was so much fun from start to finish — with a very generous tasting (2…3…4 samples later 🍻).

James, our tour guide, was absolutely brilliant. He’s been with the company for years and his knowledge is incredible, but what really stands out is how fun, engaging, and interactive he makes the tour. You’re never bored and you learn loads along the way.

Would highly recommend this tour to anyone — a great day out and well worth it!

An outstanding brewery tour – funny, fascinating, and fantastically boozy.

The Hawkstone Brewery tour is hands-down one of the most entertaining and enjoyable brewery experiences we’ve ever done. From the moment you arrive, it’s clear this isn’t going to be a dry, overly technical walk-through – it’s relaxed, hilarious, and genuinely fascinating.

Rory, our guide strikes the perfect balance between expert knowledge and sharp humour, bringing the story of Hawkstone to life while explaining the brewing process in a way that’s engaging whether you’re a beer nerd or just there for a great day out. You get real insight into the quality, care, and sheer stubborn pride that goes into every pint.

And then there’s the tasting. Very generous, varied, and dangerously easy to enjoy, it’s perfect – showcasing just how good Hawkstone’s beers and ciders really are. And vodka! Who knew that neat vodka could taste SO good! Every sip reinforces why this brewery has such a loyal following.

Set in beautiful surroundings, with a welcoming atmosphere and zero pretension, the whole experience feels authentic, confident, and unapologetically fun. You leave feeling well-informed, well-watered, and already planning your next visit.

If you’re even remotely interested in great beer, cider, or alcohol in general, or just having a cracking time, the Hawkstone Brewery tour is an absolute must. 🍺

We had Rory as our tour guide, amazing experience. Very informative and friendly. Great insight into everything that goes on behind the scenes just to make a bottle. Definitely recommend getting a lift into the experience and eating before, there’s a lot of drink to sink your teeth into. If you are a fan of a good pint I’d definitely recommend going.
