What do we brew at the coast?
We brew Adnams Bitter and Broadside all year round, as well as releasing seasonal specials to thirsty fans.
Adnams Bitter 3.7% ABV
The classic Southwold bitter and Adnams favourite - brimming with the fragrance of our finest hops and malt, it's dry yet refreshing, with a lingering bitter flavour.
Broadside 4.7% ABV
With a name that commemorates the fierce Battle of Sole Bay fought against the Dutch Republic in 1672 off the coast of Southwold, Broadside is rich, with aromas of almonds, zest and conserved fruit, and a perfect balance of malt and hop flavours - an award-winning pint to savour. CAMRA Gold Medal Winner in the 2003 Champion Beer of Britain, Strong Bitter Category.
Explorer 4.3% ABV
We crossed the Atlantic to find the hops for Adnams Explorer. The use of Chinook and Columbus hops in the brew have an excitingeffect. The beer is light and refreshing, suffused with the aromas of a grapefruit grove. The citrus attack will burst on your palate as the hops deliver their fruity bitterness. A Blonde beer, Adnams Explorer will keep you coming back for more.
Regatta 4.3% ABV
This is a refreshing summer beer. Light, bright and crisp in flavour with a delightful sunshine colour, it's wonderfully thirst-quenching with a refreshing touch of bitterness. Available mid March to end of August.
Fisherman 4.5% ABV
An easy drinking traditional style ale. Clean and refreshing yet dark and mysterious, Fisherman is a deep coppery red, conjuring up roasted nuts and dark chocolate, with a lingering taste of liquorice and dried fruits. Available mid October to end of February.
Tally-Ho (Extra strong!)
The original winter warmer, Tally-Ho is actually a barley wine brewed to a nineteenth century recipe. It's sweet; it's heart-warming; it's rich - but watch out, it's got a kick like a drayman's horse! Available only in December in limited outlets.
Limited Editions from the Coast...
Throughout the year we bring back some of our old favourites as well as introduce some fresh and exciting new brews! So, if you fancy a pint of Old Ale, Oyster Stout, Yuletide or May Day, why not track these down in selected pubs across East Anglia and London (a perfect excuse for a visit to the coast?). Sign up for the Sole Bay News and we'll keep you posted on new brews from the coast!
