Jeremy Clarkson has warned some bottles of his Hawkstone Cider might explode.

The former Top Gear presenter, who owns the craft drink brand, warned there had been a “massive cock-up” in a sweary Twitter update.

He wrote: “If the cap has the code L3160, open it underwater, pour it away and get in touch for a refund.”

Clarkson stressed that Hawkstone Beer is “fine and still delicious” – and “almost all” cider bottles are unaffected.

On Instagram, Hawkstone explained that “a small amount” of cider had over-fermented.

“Take a photo of the caps and we will send you a fresh batch or a refund,” the company added.

The drinks brand was launched in 2021, with its primary ingredients coming directly from Clarkson’s Diddly Squat farm in Chipping Norton.
