A brewery in Yorkshire has honoured the wishes of Dave Myers by making one of its beers publicly available.
Last year Theakston Brewery worked in collaboration with the Hairy Bikers to produce the Triple Hop best bitter.
The TV duo created a series of beers with the brewery with the Triple Hop being the first to hit the shelves across various Waitrose outlets.
Richard Bradbury, managing director of T&R Theakston, said: “It was a pleasure to meet and work alongside Si [King] and Dave.
"Their passion for creating memories and experiences associated with food and a drink rings true with the Theakston ethos that beer is more than just a pint.”
“As part of his legacy of fun, friendship and hearty flavours, we hope Dave would be proud to see the beer he created being enjoyed by beer lovers and Hairy Biker fans nationwide.”

The company explained that they were honouring 'the wishes of Si, Dave and Dave’s family to continue brewing this beer' and making it readily available to consumers.
Si commented: "I cannot tell you how proud I am of this beer and the collaboration with Theakston.
"We’ve been intrinsically involved in the recipe development and tasting notes - trust me when I say there was a lot of tasting.
"I hope you enjoy it as much as we have enjoyed creating it.”

The Triple Hop is currently available at 178 stores across the country, with more in the pipeline.
And, whilst this might be too late for the Dave Day celebrations on Saturday, one pub in Barrow is coming to fans' aid.
Paul Kell from the Farmers Arms in Newbarns Village has been making sure to get stock ready for the expected influx of visitors, with thousands set to travel from London to Barrow for the occasion.
Paul explained that the Triple Hop will be available to buy from Thursday evening (June 6), just in time for the big day.
