Description

The Truman's Brewery name was revived in 2010 with a brewery established on Fish Island in 2013. A move to the former Crate brewery in Hackney Wick occoured in 2020 but they withdrew from brewing in 2022. A name change to Big Penny coincided with a start to contract brewing at Redchurch. Its Social Club taproom remains a major presence on the Blackhorse Beer Mile. No cask ale.
