This probably should fall under the new breweries thread but the return of such an iconic brewery probably deserves its own fanfare.

Personally, when Trumans stopped trading in the 80's I wasn't into Real Ales (few were!) so I have little or no recollection of whether they were any good or not but at least I will now hopefully get a chance to find out, especially as they are planning to recreate some of the original beers. The brewery legacy can still be found in so many pubs in London within the architecture and signage so it will be nice to see an old traditional name on the scene again. Will be interesting to see how this one develops and I look foward to a few samples.
