Adnams Southwold- Brewing Suffolk beer since 1345

About

Johanna de Corby and 17 other ‘ale wives' of Southwold were charged by the manorial court with breaking the assize of ale. This is the earliest record of beer being brewed on the Adnams site. When George and Ernest Adnams bought the Sole Bay Brewery in Southwold with the help of their father in 1872, they laid their footsteps on the site which today produces over 85,000 barrels of Suffolk beer each year.

Adnams are famous for its variety of cask ales and bottled beers, and are one of the most well renowed Suffolk producers, but not just for their beers; they have welcomed visitors to their home town of Southwold since 1859 at the Swan and Crown Hotels.

In 2010 they established the Copper House Distillery and have already picked up awards for their vodka and gin. Today Adnams are very focused on the future of their business and a key part of this is ensuring that they are as environmentally friendly in their production as possible.

Recentley they launched the Royal Wedding Ale - click here to find out more information.
