Jeremy Clarkson slammed after ‘relabelling his beer’ for Christmas and boosting the value
Jeremy Clarkson has been slammed for charging more for his Christmas beer.
The former Top Gear star founded Hawkstone three years ago. All year round he is selling the Jeremy’s Lager: Great Farm Package for £30. But in the run up to the festive season, he is selling the Fa-La-Lager Pack for £35. Both gifts come with a selection of ten bottles of lager, two bags of Clarkson crisps and two Hawkstone beer coasters.
But the yuletide version has a bow on one of the bottles. One eagled-eyed shopper noticed the cheeky price increase whilst shopping for Christmas presents.

Katie Ward, 23, said: “I think it’s disgusting that companies will raise prices at Christmas time. A lot of people struggle this time of year.”
Dancer Katie, of Redditch, Worcestershire, said: “The fact that someone like Jeremy Clarkson who already earns millions is charging more for the same product is shocking. I was just doing a bit of Christmas shopping and spotted the two gift boxes online.

“At first I thought it must come in some sort of fancy festive hamper. But it’s just the same box relabelled for Christmas.”
Clarkson, 61, sells Hawkstone at his Diddly Squat Farm, near Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire.
It’s just the latest controversy by the TV personality, who caused a commotion online at bonfire night, earlier this month.

Clarkson set ablaze an effigy that appeared to represent Donald Trump, much to the shock of his fans. The host of “Clarkson’s Farm”, aged 64, posted a photo to his social media showing a dummy bearing an uncanny resemblance to Trump going up in flames at his Oxfordshire pub, The Farmer’s Dog.
The effigy donned a classic suit and red tie as it cracked and popped amidst the fierce flames. Jeremy captioned the post: “Bonfire night at @thefarmersdogpub.” He then pointed out on instagram it wasn’t the leader of the free world and was a simple Guy Fawkes instead.
