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.
His attempt to run a farm has now been turned into an Amazon Prime TV show.

Clarkson, who purchased the farm in 2008 and started running it himself in 2019, got a frosty reaction from some villagers when he sought to expand the business with a farm shop and restaurant.
Clarkson also presents Amazon Prime TV series The Grand Tour with his former Top Gear co-stars Richard Hammond and James May.
