In 2020, the Zeloof family, owners of the defunct but repurposed historic Truman brewery in Brick Lane, began commissioning Brockley Brewery to produce beers for sale at bars on the site, including a new beer venue, the Brick Lane Taproom.
The beers were originally branded Brick Lane, as the Truman beer brand was then owned by a separate company that had revived brewing under the name in 2010. In 2022, that company experienced financial difficulties after losing its brewing site, and in September that year sold the brand to the Zeloofs. It subsequently renamed itself Big Penny.
The first Truman-branded beers under the new ownership arrangements began to appear in May 2024, still produced at Brockley.
Beers are in bottle, with some keg, mainly available at the Brick Lane Taproom and other outlets on the site.
