Hawkstone Brewery, formerly known as Cotswolds Brewing Co., is a microbrewery in Cheltenham, England in the United Kingdom. Aside from beer, they also produce vodka and gin.

History

Cotswolds Brewing Co. was founded in 2005 by Emma and Rick Keene. The couple started the brewery to focus on lager versus ale beer. The first beer they released was a German-style lager called Cotswold Premium. It has been named of the "10 of the Best Breweries in the Cotswolds" by The Cotswolds Gentleman. In 2021, the brewery began to collaborate with Jeremy Clarkson to produce Hawkstone Lager and later the brewery was rebranded to Hawkstone.

Brewery

The brewery is located on a farm in the Bourton-on-the-Water area in The Cotswolds. They offer two hour tours during the summer, which includes a tasting of the beers they produce. The brewery building is made of Cotswold stone.

Production

Liquor

Cotswolds Brewing Co. produces gin, which is a favourite alcoholic drink of Emma Keene. For legal reasons, they distil their gin at Thames Distillers Ltd. in London. The gin is made with hawthorn berries, verbena, and lime.
