Truman’s Brewery eyes pub estate
Truman’s Brewery, the London-based enterprise re-established in 2010 by Michael-George Hemus and James Morgan, is eyeing plans to establish a pub estate after securing a new brewery site.
Truman’s hopes to increase output 10-fold with its new premises in Hackney Wick, east London, Morgan told M&C Report.
He said the 10,000sq ft unit, on an industrial estate, will have a maximum capacity of 480 barrels per week. Truman’s beers have been brewed elsewhere until now.
Asked if the company was looking to acquire pubs, Morgan said: “We would like to. Hackney Wick is a fantastic area, so I think we probably will try to have a brew tap on-site.”
He added: “We’ve got our eyes on a couple of places that we might turn to retail.”
Truman’s, which started life in 1666, was once the world’s biggest brewery and relaunched in 2010 in Spitalfields, east London.
