With Truman’s now firmly back in East London’s pubs, we’ve been trying to get out and chat to our new customers as much as possible. Despite our best efforts, its seems that not everyone has fully understood the Truman’s story. We’ve found that some people think that the beer is a brand new launch, while others (particularly those with longer memories) hadn’t realised that it had ever disappeared at all.

So when it was time to produce our new beermat, we decided it was a good chance to tell the history of Truman’s in as few words as possible.

Established 1666; closed 1989; re-estabished 2010.

There you have it.

And what’s on the other side? You’ll have to visit a pub selling Truman’s to find out. [Clue: it flies and has feathers.]
