Truman’s Spitalfields Pub Crawl
Fancy a couple of pints on Friday night? You are invited to come along on Truman’s pub crawl in Spitalfields this Friday in the company of Derek Prentice former Master Brewer in Brick Lane and Jack Hibberd of Truman’s Beer to learn the history of the rise and fall and rise again of brewing in the East End, and enjoy the opportunity to sample some of fine ales now being brewed by Truman’s. To join the party, simply meet at at 6:30pm this Friday 15th August at the Pride of Spitalfields in Heneage St and look forward to visiting some of the celebrated hostelries in these pictures.

Sounds great, wish I could be there! Valerie
Great memories for me – my uncle had a succession of Trumans pubs and I loved being in the cellar with him as a very young boy watching all the activities of racking, tapping, etc. I loved the smell! When I was in my 20s I did relief management of a pub in Wandsworth for him but by then Trumans was part of Grand Metropolitan. It was soul destroying running a Trumans pub in the Young’s heartland. My next job was on a building site in Manchester!
Would really like to go there — but I will sit in my English-like pub in Kassel at that time! *SKOL!*

There are pubs and there are London pubs. In my experience the two are very different beasts. Lovely pictures as usual by the way, evocative and strangely reassuring.
My It Happened in London slot on last Friday’s Robert Elms show was all about the rise and fall and rebirth of Truman’s.
If you get your skates on you can listen to it at http http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p023n92v.
Will they be serving beer on the bus?
Not to the driver I hope!!
Have a good time I will be with you in spirit, dare I say that, as some of my ancestors kept London pubs in Wapping and Lambeth.
few things would be more enjoyable but i sit here in new england with a broken shoulder, hence the lack of caps. no flights, no pints of bitter.
It was good to see the old trolley bus.
With all of the talk of traffic pollution today isn’t it odd to look back on a network of clean non polluting buses all over London with strong poles and overhead power lines. All scrapped to make profits for the oil companies.

I want to come, but alas! I am in San Francisco….
