Fresh look. Same great taste. Always.

Since Adnams was established in 1872, our beer branding has developed in waves, buoyed along by tradition and a real sense of place. This year we have refreshed the design of our six best-loved Adnams beers: Ghost Ship 4.5% Pale Ale, Ghost Ship 0.5% Pale Ale, Southwold Bitter, Broadside, Dry Hopped Lager and Mosaic Pale Ale. This new vision unifies our range and gives us space to grow, shaping the look and feel of our future beers.

Designs rooted in the landscape

Home is truly where our heart is, and it’s more than just Southwold and the beach - it stretches out across Suffolk and Norfolk. As well as bringing all our beers into one proud Adnams family, we wanted to reflect our wider brand. Our design agency spotted a painting hanging in The Crown Hotel, Southwold, by local artist, Vanessa Sorboen and it perfectly captured the simplicity and honesty of our home. Using her art was the perfect way to appeal to our longstanding customers and entice others to try.

Ghost Ship 0.5% Pale Ale: Otherworldly sunset colours set our ghost ships apart.

In this manifestation the sun glints on the sails, while the shore is still shrouded in darkness.

Ghost Ship Pale Ale: Our ethereal vessel is seen from Walberswick’s shore.

The ship’s enveloped in fog and lit by the moonlight - a sight that is true to the legend.

Broadside: The sky in this scene takes on a fiery glow, while formidable ships fire their cannons.

There’s an added sense of perspective and place, as you can now spy our town in the distance.

Dry Hopped Lager: It’s a hot, sunny day on the beach here in Southwold, when only a lager will do.

The beach huts and sandy Sole Bay scene reflects the brand’s colours in a view that feels fresh.

Mosaic Pale Ale: Dunwich Forest has a mosaic of habitats, as heathland meets forest then beach.

This setting sun moment shows the light through the trees casting geometric shapes on the floor.

Southwold Bitter: We take a step back to take in the view. Southwold Jack remains our guardian,

but he’s no longer far from home. You now find him in situ, standing proud on the brewery wall.

Keeping ahead of the curve

Support for cask beer is key to this project. We believe there is a great opportunity in cask and we want to draw more people to the category. We were one of the first breweries to use moulded metal pump clips, so we’ve taken our time to create something new and exciting again. Our innovative cylindrical pump clips are eye-catching from every angle. Their stunning curved shape and embossing helps bring our flavoursome storytelling to life. Keg beer is also getting a boost with new tap handles and bold banded badges.

This summer, gather your friends, grab a Ghost Ship, and get out there. Make stories that become The Stuff of Legend. We’re setting you up for the ultimate adventure, with the chance to win a Suffolk pub for a night to enjoy with your friends, along with other legendary prizes.*

Legends don’t have to always feature magic, strange beasts or far off lands, but they might call for the odd Ghost Ship. They can come from sharing adventures with friends or simply trying something new and recounting your endeavours. They spring from the tales you’ll tell around the campfire or on a visit to the pub.

So, share the moment, share a Ghost Ship, and make this summer The Stuff of Legend. See special competition packs and pints to enter.

Est. 1872: A mark of quality

We are proud of our heritage and how we brew beer today, so we’ve developed a mark to affirm this. The Est.1872 roundel highlights the date that Adnams was founded and declares that our authentic beers are sustainably brewed. It appears on our new clips and packaging to reinforce our assurance of quality. This will give customers confidence when making a choice. In an additional nod, the Est.1872 date icon also heads up the back-of-pack story and tasting notes on our new-design bottles and cans.
