Hackney’s largest independent brewer, Five Points, is gearing up to launch a giant new brewery and taproom in the heart of the district.
Based at Five Points’ headquarters in London Fields, the new venue will be a welcoming space for customers to drink tank-fresh pints, right where the beer is brewed, for the first time.
Alongside the full range of Five Points beers on tap, visitors can expect special and limited edition brews, seasonal beers, and excellently conditioned cask ales.
There will also be mouth-watering pizzas on offer from resident ACE Pizza, who launched ACE Under The Arches on the site earlier this year.
Located just a stone’s throw from Broadway Market, the venue will have space for more than 130 people indoors, across the ground floor and an impressive mezzanine viewing gallery, nestled among the brewing tanks.
Tank-fresh beer will be celebrated every Thursday and Friday, between 5pm and 7pm, where the most recently filled tank will be available for just £3.50 a pint. Attendees who register for the opening, on Saturday, 20th November, will receive a complimentary pint of the freshest beer on site, to celebrate the launch.
Brewery tours
From Saturday, 4th December, the site will also offer weekly brewery tours and guided tastings for visitors. There will be three 90-minute tours taking place each Saturday afternoon (noon, 2pm, and 4pm), with space for up to 20 people on each one.
Five Points co-founder and managing director, Ed Mason, said: “We are very excited to be welcoming our local community into our brewery to drink the freshest Five Points beers in London.
“And to be able to keep our new brewery and Taproom right in the heart of central Hackney, where it all began eight years ago, makes us really happy.”
