Here’s Your Line-up for Hackney Summer Fete

Leave a comment

This Saturday, we will be out in the sun at Hackney Summer Fete at St John at Hackney Church! Come and join us and enjoy what is set to be a brilliant summer festival! We have a wonderful line of stalwarts as well as a shiny new brewery making its London Brewers’ Market debut. Here’s the line-up:

The Five Points Brewing Company

Five Points Patrick Field Day LBM

The Five Points, who are the brewery behind London Brewers’ Market, will be bringing its new Five Points Pils to the party along with other favourites to enjoy at the Fete! Brewing their beer just off Amhurst Road since early 2013–a five-minute walk from St John at Hackney!–The Five Points have become an East London brewer well-known beyond the borough for their full-flavoured, classic brews in keg, can, cask and bottle.

One Mile End

One Mile End launched in October 2014 beneath The White Hart Brew Pub, Whitechapel, London. They quickly established a core range of excellent craft beers whilst simultaneously filling The White Hart’s taps with experimental one-off specials. 2016 marks their move into Tottenham on a bigger brew kit to amp up their core range and bring out some bigger, slightly off kilter beer this year!

Solvay Society

Making their first foray into the London Brewers’ Market, Solvay Society takes inspiration from the The Solvay Conferences that brought together the greatest minds in physics and chemistry in the heart of Brussels, leading to some of the most fundamental discoveries of our time. Founded in 2014 by homebrewers Roman, a physicist, and JP, an engineer, Solvay Society are interpreting Belgian style beers with a modern twist.

Hackney Brewery

Hackney Brewery LBM July 2014

Top folks brewing top beers, Hackney Brewery were established in 2011, making them the first registered brewery in their namesake borough. Creating a beloved selection of cask ales as well as a dynamic seasonal and craft range, Hackney Brewery are a hive of activity in their railway arch near Hoxton Station to supply the bars, pubs and bottle shops who stock their fine brews.

London Brewing Co.

Beginning its life in The Bull in Highgate , London Brewing Co. are now brewing a large range of ales in The Bohemia in North Finchley and have recently expanded to supply beyond the two North London brewpubs, much to the enjoyment of those elsewhere! See them at their stall for some special summery brews to be enjoyed at Hackney Summer Fete.

40FT Brewery

The Dalston-based 40FT launched in 2015 and have been brewing a selection of delicious beers in their shipping container, including their refreshing Larger. Pay a visit to their brewery tap room, which is also a shipping container and open on most Friday evenings and Saturdays–it’s a short bus ride away from the Hackney Summer Fete!

Signature Brew

Signature Brew LBM July 2014

We’re happy to have the fine folks from Signature Brew back on board with us at London Brewers’ Market with their range of sonically-inspired brews. Based in nearby Leyton, their beers have been a popular feature at our London Brewers’ Markets as well as in several nearby pubs, bottle shops and bars. Tuck into some of their cans to fuel the rest of your weekend after the Fete.

London Beer Lab

Calling itself an open source brewery, London Beer Lab started in 2012, as a brewery making stellar brews as well as a resource to teach others how to brew their own beer! Courses and workshops are available at their location in Loughborough Junction and in Brixton as part of The Beer Hive.

Brewtunes from Hackney Brewery, Orbit Beers, One Mile End and The Five Points

Breweries tend to be noisy places, with the hiss of equipment, the clank of pallet trucks, the bang of mallets onto casks and the whine of pipes as wort moves through them. Another common sound in the breweries of our London brewers is music, often played loudly to be heard over the constant din of brewing and packaging.

Here’s a small selection of what some of our London Brewers’ Market breweries are listening to while brewing, packaging and organising the sales of the beer you’ll be drinking at the next market.

Hackney Brewery’s Jack Landridge

Jerusalem/ Dopesmoker
Sleep
“Immensely heavy drone-rock that soundtracked our Gyle 666 brew.”

Chuck Berry
The Best Of
“Ideal when we’re rocking out brewing up our American Pale Ale!”

Chas and Dave
Anything they’ve recorded
“Look, we’re in the heart of the East End. Our perfect pub has a piano in the corner for a knees-up singalong, pickled eggs on the bar, and local beers made in Hackney available in cask and keg. Gertcha!”

Orbit Beers’ Robert Middleton

Orbit Beers' Robert Middleton

Tricky
False Idols
“Best album since his debut with Maxinquaye.”

Pram
Telemetric Melodies
“Other worldly sounds for chilled out days.”

Pastels
Truckload of Trouble
“Kurt Cobain’s second favourite band’s finest moments.”

One Mile End’s Simon McCabe

Simon McCabe of One Mile End

Gallon Drunk
The Road Gets Darker From Here
“Legendary band keep knocking out amazing albums.”

Antlered Man
This Devil is Them
“Bonkers brilliance.”

Lord Auch
To The Shithouse
“Had to shove one of my own in 😉 Young and Lost Club are at the Independent Label Market, too. Farewell to an amazing label!”

The Five Points’ Doreen Joy Barber

Doreen at The Five Points

Father John Misty
I Love You, Honeybear
“Incredibly wry, but also terribly earnest. Sort of reminds me of growing up in the American South. Maybe it’s the swearing”

Viet Cong
Viet Cong
“We play this album often, as well as Public Strain by Women. It’s just amazing”

Jessica Pratt
Jessica Pratt
“Haven’t had a chance to hear her latest album yet, but her debut LP is aching and magnificent.”

The creativity in brewing often spills over into music, with quite a few brewhands and beer workers in bands and other music projects, as you can see above with Simon McCabe’s Lord Auch, and also Dearjoseph and Echo Lake, featuring Five Points’ Emmanuel Ross and Thom Hill respectively. Signature Brew blend music and together well in their tasty collaborations with artists and record labels.

Beer and music go great together, which is why it’s brilliant to have them both together at Old Spitalfields Market with London Brewers’ Market and Independent Label Market. Ask the brewers what music they’ve been listening to, and chat with the record label folks about what beers they’ve been enjoying!
