TV star turned farmer Clarkson began producing the lager at Diddly Squat Farm on the second series of Clarkson’s Farm, using his own spring barley to brew.
Born in the Cotswolds, Hawkstone is made with barley sourced directly from British farmers and is currently the fastest growing beer brand in the UK.
More than 100 Marston’s pubs across the UK will now be serving up Hawkstone.
The firm said its pubs had been showing their appreciation by inviting their “local farming heroes” to pour and enjoy the first pints of Hawkstone.
At the Fallow Field in Telford, the first pints of Hawkstone were poured by members of the Brewing Society from Harper Adams University, specialists in food production and technology, and animal health and wellbeing.
They were joined by members of Newport Young Farmers, who arrived at the Fallow Field in style, by tractor.
Clarkson, Hawkstone’s founder, said: “Farming isn’t just ‘how’ Hawkstone is made, it’s ‘why’ it’s made. The more Hawkstone you drink, the more barley we buy from British farmers.
"That’s why we’re thrilled Marston’s is serving pints on draught in over 100 pubs nationwide. So visit your local Marston’s pub and enjoy a pint of Hawkstone and help us celebrate the farming community this festive season.”
Director of operations at Marston’s, Claire Robertson, added: “We’re so excited to now be pouring Hawkstone at over 100 of our cosy pubs across the country.
"We really admire the work that Hawkstone is doing to champion our farming communities and are proud to be able to do our bit to support.
"We work hard to give our guests the best possible experience and serve the very best quality food and beverages, we’re delighted to be adding the award-winning lager to our taps.”
