Truman's is returning to its London roots with the opening of a new £1M site in the English capital - 10,000sq brewery - The Eyrie, in Hackney Wick. The facility has a capacity of 40bbls, making it the biggest cask ale producer in East London, the company claims. Trueman's was originally established at a site on Brick Lane in East London around 1666. The company was acquired by Grand Metropolitan in the early 1970s but closed in 1989. Truman's was revived in 2012 by James Morgan and Michael-George Hemus. Morgan, Truman's MD said: "I am just delighted to be able to return Truman's to East London. We are producing brilliant, flavour-packed ale from our new brewery and are working hard to ensure that Truman's beer is once again a great name in brewing." The new site will produce Truman's Runner, a "bold" best bitter, and Truman's Swift, a Golden Ale with a third beer being developed with Mitchell's & Butler's-owned Nicholson's pub chain.
