Description
Established 1666 - Closed 1989 - Re-established 2010 - Re-named 2022

One of the greatest names in British brewing, Truman's has been a part of London life for almost 350 years. Closed in 1989 during dark days for the brewing industry, we have been working hard to bring Truman's back to its former glory. We craft an eclectic range of great beer in cask, keg and can at our new brewery in Hackney Wick. Everything we brew, we do with with skill, belief and passion.

The brewery in Hackney Wick was closed in June 2022 but the award-winning recipes are now brewed under contract for the three venues and online sales.

From Thursday 15 September, Truman’s Beer will be known as Big Penny, following the acquisition of the trademark by the management team at the Old Truman Brewery announced earlier this year.

Cask. White Horse, Brancaster Staithe, Norfolk. Gold, with a light haze. Barely a head. Nose has sweet malts and fruity, citrus hop. Taste has a malt sweetness, and some fusty, fruity bitterness. Mouthfeel feels a bit tired. Fruity bitter finish. Very average.

Can at LKS. It pours clear golden with a medium white head. The aroma is soft, fresh, white bread, grassy, hay, bit of candied lemon, straw and earth. The taste is crisp, dry, grassy, straw, white bread, straw, soda water, quite sweet, grainy and soap with a drying finish. Light body and fine carbonation. Pretty so - so.

On cask. Clear amber body with a thin white head. Aroma of toffee, berries and citruses with a hint of grass. Taste is a lot like the aroma. Strong caramel malt base with some toast, citruses, grass and berries. Easy drinking yet tasty beer.
