4 Drayman Square, Southwold, Suffolk IP18 6GB
The company's own shop and cafe at Drayman Square, a few minutes off the High Street, and the place the tours send you with your voucher. It stocks the full Adnams beer, wine and spirits range along with the kitchenware and homeware side of the business, and it has won East Anglian independent wine merchant awards. It is the practical answer to the question of where to buy a bottle of the gin or a mixed case of the beer to take home, and it is a distinct address from the brewery, the distillery and the tours centre, all of which are separate points in the same small town.
Brewing in the middle of the town since 1872, on a site brewing far longer than that.
