About Adnams
Adnams is a historic British brewery and distillery based in Southwold, Suffolk, known for its commitment to tradition, sustainability, and innovation in craft beverages.
Established in 1872 when George and Ernest Adnams purchased the Sole Bay Brewery, Adnams has evolved while maintaining deep connections to its coastal Suffolk heritage. The company remains independently owned, with a strong emphasis on community involvement and environmental responsibility that has earned it numerous sustainability awards.
Adnams is primarily known for its range of distinctive cask and bottled beers, including flagship brews such as Southwold Bitter, Ghost Ship pale ale, and Broadside strong ale. Since 2010, the company has also established a reputation for award-winning spirits production, creating premium gins, vodkas, and whiskies in its copper distillery.
Beyond brewing and distilling, Adnams operates a chain of hotels, pubs, and retail stores across East Anglia, as well as an online shop shipping nationwide. The company's approach balances heritage brewing techniques with innovation, exemplified by its development of carbon-neutral brewing facilities and early adoption of craft beer styles alongside traditional English ales. Adnams represents the evolution of a traditional regional brewer into a diverse, modern beverage company while maintaining its independent status and local character.
