点评:No trip through Diddly Squat country is complete without a stop at Hawkstone, and on a manic bank holiday weekend we duly joined the pilgrimage. Early arrival was the move here — we beat the holiday traffic and walked straight into a table for a tasting paddle, no queuing required.
Manage your expectations on the “attraction” front. Unless you’ve booked a tour ahead of time, there isn’t a huge amount to actually do — this is a brewery, not a theme park, and I reckon that’s exactly how it should be.
The boys enjoyed a beer from the tasting paddle while the wife went for the fresh chocolate cow juice — turns out that was the real find of the visit. Not just a novelty for the kids, either; genuinely good.
T-Rex reckons - get there early, especially on a long weekend. Book a tour in advance if you want more than a sit-down and a paddle. Otherwise, treat it as a relaxed halfway stop on the wider Clarkson trail rather than a destination in its own right.
翻译:要游览迪德利斯夸特地区,就绝对不能错过霍克斯通酒厂。在一个热闹非凡的节假日周末,我们也加入了这场“朝圣之旅”。早点出发是关键——我们避开了节假日的车流,直接就坐下来品尝各种啤酒,连队都没排。
至于所谓的“景点”嘛,可别抱太高期望。除非你提前预约了导览服务,否则其实也没什么可做的——这里毕竟是一家酿酒厂,又不是主题公园。我觉得事情就应该是这样。
男孩子们品尝着品酒盘上的啤酒,而我的妻子则选择了新鲜的“巧克力牛奶”——结果这成了这次游览中最值得称道的发现。这可不只是给孩子们玩的新奇玩意儿,味道真的很不错。
T-Rex建议:尽量早点到那儿,尤其是在长周末的时候。如果你想体验的不仅仅是坐下来品酒而已,那就提前预订导览服务吧。不然的话……把它当作克拉克森步道沿途一个轻松的中途休息点,而并非一个独立的目的地吧。
