The Five Points Brewing Company

At The Five Points Brewing Company, we have a great enthusiasm for the London beer scene which we are proudly a part of. As individuals, we have enjoyed the beer of London’s breweries since the heady days of Mason & Taylor. As a brewery, we organised a London Brewers’ bar at Leeds International Beer Festival in 2013 and participated in the first London Beer City last year.

We also organised London Brewers’ Market in the autumn of 2013 and held the first ever edition of the Market on Saturday the 30th of November, 2013, alongside the well-established Independent Label Market at Old Spitalfields. We invited along members of the London Brewers’ Alliance to develop an event to showcase the quality and breadth of breweries in the capital that was good for brewers and drinkers, as well as being a lot of fun for everyone involved!

London is home to a number of breweries–currently at least 62 and growing! With the London Brewers’ Market, we at The Five Points want to help introduce Londoners to the fantastic folks behind their local breweries, as well as to introduce drinkers from all over to what the independent brewers of this city can brew.

Five Points at Christmas 2014 LBM

For those of you who are unfamiliar with us here at The Five Points, we are an independent brewery based in Hackney, East London. We’ve been brewing since March of 2013, and we currently have a core range of four beers: Five Points Pale, Railway Porter, Hook Island Red and Five Points IPA.

We’ll have a stall at the next London Brewers’ Market on the 28th of March alongside 21 other breweries, and we’ll be selling beer on draught as well as our bottles. Be sure to stop by The Five Points’ stand to taste some brews, pick up some bottles and have a chat about our brewery and the market. You can also reach us for any questions or feedback at info@fivepointsbrewing.co.uk.

Get involved with Gipsy Hill Brewing Co at London Brewers’ Market

Leave a comment

The gang from Gipsy Hill Brewing Co. will be returning to London Brewers’ Market on Saturday, the 28th of March. Established in 2014, these guys were at one point the youngest brewery in London to participate in the London Brewers’ Market! Gipsy Hill LBM July 2014

Since then, they’ve had several brews under their belt and have gained notoriety for giving away free beer due to a licensing issue at one of their opening days. While their beer won’t be free at London Brewers’ Market, it *is* free to rock up and taste Gipsy Hill’s brews along with the beer from over 20 other London breweries. So save the date and we’ll see you at Old Spitalfields Market soon!
