Calling all meat-heads, steak-devourers, and smoke-purveyors – a new carnivorous event is touching down in London next month that you won’t want to miss. The BBQ legends over at the Five Points Courtyard, From The Ashes, are teaming up with 3 of East London’s best open-fire, smoke-fuelled meat slingers for a special BBQ festival. The East London Smokehouse Sessions will bring together “fire, smoke and serious flavour – all in one place for one day only.”
Touching down at the Five Points taproom on March 21, the event will treat guests to four exclusive dishes. And you won’t find these on the menu anywhere else, because each one has been made specifically for the festival. Tickets include all four of the special dishes, plus a welcome drink from event partner Jack Daniel’s. Guests can expect “Four smokehouses. Four exclusive dishes. One courtyard filled with smoke, beer and good tunes.”

As you wander around, sampling the meaty wares, Jack Daniel’s and Five Points will be on hand to keep the drinks pouring and spirits high. But remember to pace yourself – there’s plenty of food to get through, while you’re here!
If you’ve spent any time exploring London’s craft beer scene, you’ve likely heard of the brewery – or ended up at their impressive taproom. Popular with both modern beer drinkers and those who like traditional ale styles, Five Points makes ultra-quaffable pints. If you’re after a hazy, hoppy pint, a crisp lager, or a malty cask ale, they’ve got you sorted.
