This walk is a unique opportunity to explore the origins and the rebirth of once World biggest brewer: The Truman beer. We will walk around hidden pubs serving the Truman. We will also stop at the old Brewery and go on a mini tour. You will then learn more about the story of this legendary beer: its creation, its fall and then its relaunch in 2010.

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. Truman’s was once the biggest brewer in the world.

Its history is a classic story of rise and fall. The rise lasted for over two hundred years, the fall was over in half. Truman’s was made great through good beer, strong principles, hard work and a bit of luck. It was undone when these were compromised and in 1989 the brewery and the pubs were sold and Truman’s was closed. 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 restarted by two local beer enthusiasts. It has a new beer, a new eagle and it’s on the rise once more. Join us to discover how and why!

Meeting point: The Ten Bells at the corner of Commercial Street and Fournier Street in Spitalfields in the East End of London.

Price include drinks in the visited pubs.

A Londoner by adoption, I have been living in Brick lane for over 2 years and I love my neighborhood. Since one of my good friend decided to restart the Truman, I enjoy drinking it in the local pubs. I am really looking forward to sharing my enthusiasm about this great beer.
