Five Points Best is a single-hopped Best Bitter, brewed with Fuggles hops from Hukins Hops. Refreshing and smooth, Best has notes of caramel and biscuit, and a lovely grassy, herbal freshness that makes you want to reach for another one.
Five Points Best celebrates both the history of British brewing and the modern craft beer movement. It showcases the Five Points take on beer: influenced by the past but brewed very much for the present. Because, we reckon, why should modern beer always mean new beer styles?

Friday 20th August 2021. Mown the lawns, cleaned out the porch, vacuumed the down stairs and the stairs; made some Courgette Soup for the freezer and it's not even 13:00 yet. My reward is a 33cl bottle of this: BB 30th Jan 2022. Poured into an old Hoegaarden Grand Cru stemmed tulip glass, it has a slight haze to it's amber body; the off-white head soon turned into a wisp and collar, pity. Being an old style Bitter man I actually like Fuggle Hops and this beer takes me back a bit to the days when the choice was Mild or Bitter in most pubs. It's a bitter Bitter and all the better for it!
