I worked for sixteen years at Trumnans untill it was closed down. I was senior brew house operator in the new brew house that was built. The old brew house was pulled down for the new office blocks of the companies business. At that time it was run by josepMaxwell . I would like to know how could you use the old name for your brewery, it gives the wrong impression that the brewery is still working. What was wrong in using your own names . Do you use their recipeses. I belive you are fooling the public that you are still the real Trumans.

I did you have to pay some organisation to use their name, I believe that anothe brewery that was close Taylor Walker, where my father worked, has its n ame used for another small brewery

Hi, I grew up on Truman beer until the brewery close. I was married in 1966, a great year, Married, England won and we all went to Truman’s 300 year visit with the Rose and Crown, in Hartlip, Kent.
Our Hops were used there, Wakely’s Hops.
Cheers.

Fabulous news! The Pryors (a Quaker family) were Directors of the Company in the 19th and 20th Centuries. I was a humble graduate trainee at Brick Lane for 18 months in ;68 and ’69, during which I got legless on their ambrosial ales more times than I care to mention. Bon Voyage for the future. CHEERS!

Fantastic news! It’s been great in the last few years to see breweries like London Fields, Camden Town, Kernal and Crate establish themselves.. Pubs like The Fox, The Southampton Arms, Euston Tap, Brewdog etc have been stocking the ales and beers. It’s so satisfying to go and get a pint of ‘Hackney Hopster’ round the corner from my flat. Still, most pubs offer tasteless stuff like Kronenburg, Foster, Heineken and Carling – all imports!

I spent 30 minutes waiting for the 106 yesterday to travel from Stoke Newington to Sutton House. No wonder it was so slow, look at the state of it!
