PSBH x FIVE POINTS x SQUAWK NINE FINCH RAILS LAUNCH
It wouldn’t be a birthday without A BIRTHDAY BEER. Five Points are coming up to Manchester to brew a beer at the almighty Squawk. It only made sense to merge two of our favourite dark beers of the past few years…Five Points’ Railway Porter and Squawk’s Corvus. Find it on CASK at our Birthday! Nine Finch Rails.

SIOP SHOP BIRTHDAY CAKE
We’ve asked our friends Lucy & Iwan at Siop Shop to whip up a 9th Birthday STOUT CAKE. Free slices from around 6pm…while it lasts (which won’t be long). It might have some Five Points in it. Who knows!
Hope you can join us. Thanks for visiting over the years. Your presence is presents enough.
– PSBH is 5 (and a bit)
Words by James Moffat / PSBH Manager
Remember the days before Port Street? When you’d finish work on a Friday & head straight home & just sit there staring at the wall waiting for someone to invent Netflix? Before you were invited to 9 different events every Saturday by people you haven’t spoken to in person since high school? I still remember my first trip here, long before I ever stepped foot behind the bar, when I came in on my birthday to sample some new beers! Hard to believe that was five years ago.
Anyway.
PORT STREET IS FIVE YEARS OLD!
We got pretty busy in the run up to our birthday travelling around & brewing some beers for you to enjoy at our birthday celebration.
First up was Arbor where we collaborated with them to produce PSBH Bomb. Based on their brilliant Bomb series but this one’s hopped with Pacific gem, Summit, Bravo, mt Hood. We forgot to take any photos of this brew day or we all had broken phones & no one carries a camera these days!
Shortly after we popped down to see Cloudwater & try some of the stuff they had in tank & brain storm some ideas which became a Lapsang Lichtenhainer. Combining our love of smoked & sour beers.
Next up was a double brew day with some of us heading over to Leeds to see Northern Monk to brew an imperial mild, Life On Mild.
Meanwhile, Edward headed down to Squawk on his own to collaborate with Runaway, Squawk & Track on 5 Alive, a pale ale with a big citrus twist!
Lastly. After a long walk up what I’m told is the longest continuous gradient in Europe! We got to see Vocation & brew a massively hopped American pale ale, Lost & Found!
Hope you enjoy them all!

Squawk
“A new-kid-on-the-block, experimental craft brewery based in Manchester. Using techniques old and new to create complex tastes and powerful sensations. Committed to craft beer. Not afraid to mix it up and experiment with far out flavours. Selective about rules, because great beer can come from strange beginnings. For intrepid beer hunters on the lookout for bold flavours and brave brews.”
Track
“The brewery is born from a taste for adventure and experimentation – something we want to impart to the beers. Born on a solo, round the world cycle ride, Track Brewing Co sees beer as a landscape as diverse as the route. From hop driven pales and IPAs, oatmeal and imperial stouts to red ryes and saisons, the beer range aims to take drinkers on a journey. The end point being a balanced and refreshingly drinkable experience.”
