Adnams named Brewery of the Year by the Good Pub Guide

Adnams has been given the national award for ‘BREWERY OF THE YEAR’ by the UK’s bestselling guide book The Good Pub Guide 2011.

This prestigious award has been chosen by recommendations from pub-goers themselves – over 2,000 regular correspondents send in their recommendations to the guide’s editors and all main entries are inspected anonymously by the editorial team.

What it says in the Good Pub Guide:

Our top ten breweries – the ones which most often supply good pubs with their cheapest beer – are Adnams, Black Sheep, Fullers, Greene King, Harveys, Hook Norton, Otter, Sharps, Wadworths and Wells & Young. Of these, family-run Adnams stands out , with its interesting and seasonally changing range of splendid ales (good wines too), now very widely available. What’s more, this year in their own tied pubs Adnams have held any increase in beer prices down to about half the national average. Adnams is Brewery of the Year 2011.

Adnams is delighted to be named Brewery of the Year by The Good Pub Guide. We have welcomed over 7,000 people in to the brewery on tours this year and their feedback tells us that they love our beers and our sustainable approach to business. Our new brewery is one of the most energy-efficient in the country and the quality and range of our beers has never been better. To have so many of our pubs and stockist listed in the Good Pub Guide, together with the honour of being Brewery of the Year makes us all feel extremely proud. I would like to thank our customers and dedicated employees for their continued support.
