Stephen Reynolds, church warden at St Mary the Virgin, Primrose Hill, started this brewery as a way of raising money for the church’s youth work. The first beer, cuckoo brewed at UBREW, was launched at an event in October 2016 when the Bishop of Edmonton blessed the beer and drank the first pint. A nano-sized kit was installed in the church crypt a year later, but larger runs were cuckoo brewed elsewhere under the supervision of brewer Roddy Monroe.
Brewing was suspended in early July 2022 due to refurbishment work on the church. This was finally completed in 2024, with production resuming in October and an official relaunch in November.
Bottled beers are sold locally by home delivery and through stalls at local farmers’ markets: check the website for availability.
