approach.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Launched in 2021, Hawkstone is known for its range of premium British lagers, ciders and spirits.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  All products are made exclusively from UK-sourced ingredients and the cider is never made from concentrate.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The brand is currently the fastest-growing beer brand in the UK.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Five Guys was founded in 1986 in Virginia by the Murrell family and launched in the UK in 2013.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The chain has become known for its fresh, made-to-order burgers and fries.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The company prides itself on transparency, with customers able to check the origin of the potatoes used in their meal on restaurant notice boards.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  There are no freezers in Five Guys kitchens; everything is delivered fresh, and burgers are grilled to order.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  With 15 free toppings, there are 250,000 ways to customise a burger, and more than 1,000 ways to personalise a milkshake.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Hawkstone Cider now joins Hawkstone Premium Lager on the drinks menu at Five Guys.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;So, the next time you&#8217;re craving a bespoke burger, a famously generous portion of fries, and maybe even a bacon milkshake, do the right thing and pair it with a proper British pint.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Chipping Norton farmer has teamed up with the American burger chain as part of its commitment to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":577839,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[138,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-577838","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-business","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/577838","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=577838"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/577838\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/577839"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=577838"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=577838"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=577838"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
