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 bottle at our new brewery in Hackney. Brewed with skill, belief and passion. The Truman's story is a tale of rise, fall and renewal. The rise lasted for over two hundred and fifty years and was based on great beer, great pubs and respect for the local community. The fall took just under two decades and turned all of this on its head. Truman's was founded in 1666 when Brick Lane was just a track flanked by fields. The brewery grew as East London grew and then beyond. For a brief time in the 1800s it was the biggest brewery in the world - it sent Imperial Stout to the Russian court and IPA to the British Raj. It remained resolutely independent until succumbing to the merger mania of the 1980s. In 1989 the brewery and pubs were sold and Truman's sadly closed its doors. Thankfully, the name remained. Truman's is still seen on many local pub walls and the old brewery has become East London's creative heart. In 2010, Truman's was re-established by two local beer enthusiasts, James Morgan and Michael-George Hemus. They based the come back on the principals that made Truman's great, starting with making great beer once again and having a profound respect for pubs and pub culture. This renewal was made complete with the opening of the Eyrie, the new Truman's brewery in Hackney Wick, in the summer of 2013. It may not be anyway near the size of the Brick Lane site, but we hope it will be just as loved.
