    History
    Adnams Brewery was founded in 1872 when George and Ernest Adnams bought the Sole Bay Brewery in Southwold. The company, which became Adnams PLC in 1890, has remained independent since then, producing a range of beers for distribution mainly in East Anglia. At the beginning of 2004, Adnams purchased land in neighbouring town of Reydon to expand their business.

    Brief details
    The company produces cask ale and pasteurised bottled beers. Annual production is around 70,000 barrels. Casks of Adnams ale used to be delivered to the pubs of Southwold by horse and dray until September 2006 when the distribution centre was moved to a new location three miles outside the town.

    Adnams' most recent advertising campaign has the slogan: "Beer from the Coast". Adnams is also a major regional wine merchant and pub company.
