A Swift Half Launch
Mar 31, 2026
We are launching our annual charity beer for Hackney Half, A Swift Half, at two "warm-up" fundraising events for Hackney Foodbank, our charity partner!
We've brewed a refreshingly juicy Pale Ale on our pilot kit with two members of our Five Points running team that we're launching over two dates at The Pembury Tavern and The Five Points Taproom & Courtyard.

We're launching A Swift Half at The Pembury Tavern on Thursday, the 16th of April, and you can also try it at The Five Points Taproom & Courtyard on Friday, the 17th of April.
A Swift Half is a 4.5% Hazy Pale Ale brewed with UK Cascade and Nelson Sauvin hops.
All profits from the sale of A Swift Half will go towards our charity drive for Hackney Foodbank, which includes our runners' donation page and 50p of every Five Points Pint sold on the day of the Hackney Half, Sunday the 17th of May.

Hackney Foodbank is a registered charity (number 1149896) and we have been raising funds for them for the past two years. Find out more about this charity and the valuable work they do.
