Founded 11 years ago, Five Points Brewing has emerged as one of the largest independent craft breweries in London, known for its range of award-winning beers and successful hospitality outlets.

Co-Founder and CEO Ed Mason said “Despite facing challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic and the cost of living and utilities crisis, Five Points Brewing has demonstrated resilience and achieved significant growth in 2023.” 

“We are incredibly proud of the brand that we and our investors have built over the past 11 years. Our continued growth is a testament to the strength of our brand and the dedication of our fantastic team across our Brewery, Taproom, and The Pembury Tavern.”

Looking ahead to 2024, Five Points has announced plans for expansion, to increase brewing capacity and the opening of new pubs. The company views the expansion of its own pub estate as a crucial part of its growth strategy with The Pembury Tavern serving as a model for additional sites., providing a model for beer sales direct to the public, increased brew volumes, diversified routes to market, and a showcase for their beer range.

To support its growth and expansion plans, Five Points is launching a funding round, led by founder and existing investors. The campaign will raise investment for additional brewing capacity, production efficiencies, expansion of current Taproom & Courtyard premises, and the acquisition of new pub sites. Investors will benefit from a range of rewards, including lifetime discounts online and at current and future venues, bar tab incentives, exclusive events, free brewery tours, and more.

“We are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead for Five Points Brewing” says Mason. “With the support of our investors and community, and an emphasis on quality and accessible beers, we are confident in our ability to continue our growth and further establish ourselves as a leading player in the craft beer industry.”
