It seems amazing that this brewery has only been open a matter of months, so well-established are their beers becoming. The brewers have now settled on their three basic recipies and will no longer be labelling beer as ‘First Brews’.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Five Points - Railway Porter | 4.80 | | Plenty of chocolate flavours. |
| Five Points - Five Points Pale | 4.40 | | The bittering hop in this one is Magnum. |
| Five Points - Hook Island Red | 6.00 | | Strong, red, rye beer, with Chinook, Columbus and Simcoe hops. |

An enjoyable visit to this impressive brewery organised by North London CAMRA – the first hosted at the brewery (they have a Brewery Open Day on 6 July). Ed Mason and Head Brewer Greg talked 30-40 of us through the brewery’s short history and their brewing philosophy before we had a taste of one of the beers. The group then went around the corner to the Cock Tavern for further tasting.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Five Points - First Brews No. 4 – Pale Ale | 4.40 | | On gravity dispense. Not as rounded in flavour as this beer can be, with a harsh, bitter aftertaste. I think it was a little bit too ‘brewery fresh’ and green. |

The pub is found in Hackney, Greater London, E8 1JE.
A small brewery established in 2012, with beers first appearing in the trade in March 2013. The brewery occupies a large railway arch beneath Hackney Downs railway station, and has a 10 barrel brewing capacity. Cask, bottled and, with effect from June 2013, key-keg beers are produced, primarily for a local market.
We have visited this pub twice, seen 4 different beers and tried them all.
