Pie lovers and pub-goers are in for a treat as a new limited-edition dish arrives.

Marston’s has launched a Hawkstone IPA and beef pie at nearly 500 pubs nationwide, including two in Andover: Chalkhill Blue in Hawker Siddley Way and the White Hart in Bridge Street.

The new pie, available from Monday, August 3, features British diced beef and pulled beef cheek slow-cooked in gravy made with Hawkstone IPA.

It is served with seasonal vegetables and Barber’s Cheddar in a shortcrust pastry.

Andy Cross, sales director at Hawkstone, 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 Hawkstone IPA, not just by the bottle but also in a Great British pub classic, in almost 500 pubs nationwide.

"So, visit your local Marston’s pub, tuck into a pie and help us celebrate the farming community before stocks run out."

Hawkstone, founded by Jeremy Clarkson and brewed using British ingredients since 2021, aims to highlight the contribution of UK farmers.

Marston’s has supported this by serving Hawkstone IPA in hundreds of its pubs and now featuring it in its latest limited-edition menu offering.

The IPA was named England’s best IPA at the World Beer Awards in 2025.

Described as "perfectly balances bursts of tropical and citrus notes, with richness from malt and hop bitterness", the IPA is now a key ingredient in the new Hawkstone IPA & Beef Pie.

Nearly 500 Marston’s pubs across England, Scotland, and Wales will serve the pie from the start of August, for a limited time only.

Hawkstone IPA bottles will also be available for customers to enjoy alongside the dish.

Kiran Bains, director of brand activation at Marston’s, said: "We’re so excited to working with Hawkstone to bring our new take on a pub classic to almost 500 of our pubs across the UK.

"British beef and Hawkstone IPA are a match made in heaven, and we’ve created a really delicious dish to serve to guests up and down the country, introducing Hawkstone to more customers and giving them a new reason to visit their local.

"We can’t wait for everyone to try it."
