Si King, one half of the beloved Hairy Bikers duo, has announced the launch of a new beer, the Hairy Biker Triple Hop, in a poignant social media post. The announcement comes months after the death of his cooking partner and best friend, Dave Myers, who passed away in February 2024 at age 66 following a battle with cancer.
In an Instagram post on the Hairy Bikers' account, King shared a photo of himself sitting at a table with an empty chair beside him, two bottles of the new beer on the table. The image, which many fans interpreted as a tribute to Myers, drew an emotional response from followers.
One fan commented: “Possibly the saddest picture I've seen in years of you sat with a bottle & an empty chair.” Another wrote: “I notice you have a beer for Dave too. Heart wrenching and heartwarming simultaneously.” Others noted the empty chair and the second bottle as a touching gesture.
The Hairy Bikers rose to fame with their first TV show, The Hairy Bikers’ Cookbook, in 2004, which blended cooking and travel. They went on to create numerous series, including The Hairy Bikers Ride Again and Hairy Bikers: Best of British.
