In 1872, the Adnams family purchased an existing brewery in Southwold which has been operated by the family ever since. There are records of brewing on this same site as far back as 1345!
Test
Established in 2010, the distillery has been uniquely designed to create a “Grain to Glass” spirit using locally-grown malted barley, wheat and oats.
The “distillery wash” which forms the base for their spirits, actually starts life as their 7% abv, unhoped beer, produced using Adnam’s own 70-year-old yeast strain. This is then distilled in small batches in our specially designed copper stills and rectifying columns to produce hand-crafted spirits with exceptional quality.
We Care About The Environment…
First brewer to track the carbon footprints of all of our beer. Our energy-efficient brewery uses a quarter of the energy we used in 2007 as we now recycle steam to heat the next brew. We have a water efficiency ratio of 3 pints of water to make 1 pint of beer. This is very efficient; others can use as much as 6 pints of water! None of our brewery waste goes to landfill. Nearly a third is sent to our Anaerobic Digester and turned into bio methane; a ‘green’ gas. Our eco distribution centre means we do not have to use any artificial cooling or heating.
