Si King paid a touching nod to his late co-star in his latest social media update
Hairy Bikers fans have been left rather emotional after Si King took to the pair's Instagram page to share some exciting news.
Providing an update on a project both he and pal Dave Myers worked on before his death, King revealed their very own beer had made it onto supermarket shelves.
Featuring a logo of both his and Myers' face on the bottle, the Hairy Bikers-backed beverage is now available for fans to try.
The exciting news comes three months after Myers died following a two-year cancer battle.
King took to social media to update fans on the exciting development of his beer brand but many were distracted by a "heart-wrenching" gesture in the photo attached.
The Hairy Bikers star penned in the caption of the post: "Thrilled to announce our delicious Hairy Biker Triple Hop beer that we lovingly made with @theakstonbrewery is coming to a shelf near you - first stop Waitrose!

"Go grab a bottle, sit down, relax and enjoy! Si x #HairyBikers #Theakston," he signed off.
In the photo, King's back is to the camera as he takes a seat on a patio chair staring into the distance.
With a glass of beer in hand, two bottles can be seen placed on the table while an empty chair is positioned next to him.
Taking this as a nod to the late Myers, several Hairy Bikers fans took to the comments to express their sadness at seeing King unable to celebrate with his best pal and co-star.
"I love that you've got a beer there for Dave," one fan commented before a second added: "So sad to see you on your own.....you must miss him immensely."
Elsewhere, a third weighed in: "Just something/someone massively missing from this picture."
"I notice you have a beer for Dave too. Heart wrenching and heartwarming simultaneously," a fourth remarked.
"This makes me so sad all over again. Cheers to Dave and you Si. Xx," a fifth added with a series of crying emojis before a sixth weighed in: "Empty seat so very sad." (sic)

Their beer brand isn't the only career achievement of late King has had to celebrate without his partner by his side.
