History
George and Ernest Adnams bought a brewery in Southwold, a town in Suffolk, in 1872. The company 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 Reydon to expand their business.
