Seasonal Beer: Hook Island Red

THE FIVE POINTS BREWING COMPANY LTD

Price not listed

Originally one of the three core beers that The Five Points started with in 2013, Hook Island Red is now a beloved seasonal brew. A full-bodied, hoppy Red Ale brewed with rye malt. Peppery notes with a hint of spice held up by a big, bold, malty backbone. It’s complex, flavourful and interesting. But, it’s not all about the malt with Hook Island Red. Kilos of West Coast hops – Chinook, Columbus and Simcoe – add flavours of resinous pine with a hint of passionfruit. Style: Red Rye Ale ABV: 6% Hops: Chinook, Columbus Malts: Maris Otter, Pale Rye, CaraRed, Munich, Melanoidin, Crystal Rye, Carafa

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.
