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.

12/12/2019. Cask at the Nell Gwynne, London. Poured orange amber with a small creamy off-white head. Very nice aroma, citrus, hops, vanilla, cinnamon, cardamom, lactose and a little spiced rum. Medium sweetness, light to moderate bitterness. Medium body, creamy texture, very soft carbonation. Enjoyed this,
