Adnams

Adnams is a British brewery, distillery, and wine merchant based in Southwold, Suffolk, England. It operates the Adnams Brewery in Southwold and markets beers, wines, and spirits through its pubs, stores, and online shop. The company originated as a family-owned wine and grocery business in the 19th century and later expanded into beer production, becoming a notable regional brewer in East Anglia. Its beer lineup has included flagship ales such as Ghost Ship, Broadside, and Southwold Bitter, alongside seasonal brews and limited editions. In addition to beer, Adnams runs a wine business and a distillery that produces spirits such as gin and vodka, with an emphasis on regional sourcing where possible.

Adnams distributes its products across the United Kingdom and through selected international markets, and maintains a network of pubs and eateries under its brand. The company has pursued sustainability initiatives, including energy efficiency, water management, waste reduction, and local sourcing, and it has continued to invest in its Southwold facilities and operations. As a family-owned enterprise, Adnams remains independent and continues to combine craft brewing with retail and hospitality activities.
