Adnams

1872: George and Ernest Adnams purchased the Sole Bay Brewery from William Crisp. Two years later, the partnership was formally dissolved. In later life, George joined a volunteer cavalry regiment. He ended up in Africa, where he was reportedly eaten by a crocodile. 1880: Tally Ho was first brewed in this year and is still brewed today. We are in the enviable position of having access to a wealth of historic recipes. 1890: Adnams and Co. was established and has remained independently run ever since. Our brewery stands on the same corner in Southwold. We can do things our own way, in our own style. Although we've ditched the top hats. 1943: Our brewer PC Loftus had previously worked at Morgan's and liked working with their yeast. It was collected weekly from their brewery in Norwich. When Morgan's brewery was destroyed in an air raid, we had to become self-sufficient and used the yeast we had left in production to start cultivating our famous dual strain for ourselves. 2010: The Copper House Distillery opened. We were the first brewery in the UK legally allowed to install a distillery. 2018: We installed a brand new de-alcoholisation plant into our brewery to create a new low-alcohol brew, Ghost Ship 0.5%. Ghost Ship 0.5% soon became a best-seller and we have gone on to expand our plant to keep up with demand.
