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.

Hazed golden pour with a fine thick head. Good lacing. Decent intensity in the aroma. Soft carbonation level and a quite ok bitterness. Marmalade, fruity and mild citric hoppy flavor. Decent easy drinkable beer. Not that inviting when served to warm. Some carbonation would also helped. [Cask at Hamilton Hall in London, England]

330ml can at the Wetherspoon outlet in Heathrow Terminal 2 on 26th Feb 2019. Hazy golden pour, white top. Citrus fruits abound in both the aroma and taste, oranges and lemons to the fore. Pleasant enough and fairly dry throughout.

On tap at Flying Horse (JDW), Gatwick Airport. Half-pint. Filmy layer, next to clear warm golden body, clingy lacing. Mild herbal hops on the nose, hints of pine. Blended taste of bread, ripe citrus and piney notes to a dry bitter end. Medium bodied. Pretty alright. Salad friendly. (13.02.2019).
