Our multi-million-pound Retail division stretches across East Anglia with 13 shops and plans for more. In addition, the online Adnams shop allows us to sell to a national audience with stories of our beers, spirits and wines, all curated from our spiritual home in iconic Southwold.

There are over 100 Retail employees directly involved in selling our award-winning beers, wines and spirits. Working alongside our team of brewers, distillers and wine buyers we have a trusted, respected and revered brand that has always been value-driven and forward thinking.

Our shops all play a part in their communities and include local events calendars, tasting bars, Make Your Own Gin experiences, café and a range of homewares and local foods.
