Lock 81 Brewery is named after the Grand Union Canal’s Batchworth Lock in Rickmansworth, a small town in London’s commuter belt. Here, in the kitchen of Henry’s flat, two friends spent years honing their skills on a homebrew kit, studying for brewing qualifications and dreaming of starting their own brewery. James eventually moved to Australia and after years of telling everyone he was going to start a brewery, in 2019 Henry decided it was time to do something about it.
Lock 81 started brewing commercially in late 2019, with the goal of producing consistent, interesting and flavourful beers, using the best ingredients and exciting new hop varieties from around the world.
