Looking back to move ahead
Our town is built on the canal that supplied the energy and power needed to build this country. These canals were used to move coal from the Allegheny mines out to the ports where the fuel was put on boats and shipped domestically and internationally. The modern marvels were an integral part of the growth of the U.S. before the advent of the locomotive. We chose to build our flagship location on this canal because we believe this culture of hard work is at the core of our brewing model, where our beer is dependent more on honest labor than on fancy equipment.
The Name
The 21 Locks name refers to the current 21 locks that are on the historic Delaware Canal that runs past our brewery. Locks are gates separating the sections in a canal and they must work in tandem for the system to function, much like our brewery, cafe, and kitchen works in tandem.
