THE FIVE POINTS BREWING COMPANY LTD

Price not listed

In the early days of 2023, we put our Five Points Team to the test to see who could create the best-loved beer. We brewed four different beers on our pilot kit, and launched all four side-by-side on an April weekend. The one that came out on top was Red Lager–a beer taking notes from American Red Ales and Amber Lagers, brewed with UK-grown hops. The combination of a lightly toasted and spicy malt base with a crisp, clean body and finish was a winning one, and so, in September of that year, we brewed a full batch of the beer on our big kit and launched it on keg to our trade customers.

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as THE FIVE POINTS BREWING COMPANY LTD, number 08325685. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
