Brewed with the finest Maris Otter and optic malts, sourced locally to the brewery, with the addition of three hop varieties including First Gold.
Southwold Bitter is a beautiful copper-coloured beer, late and dry-hopped with Fuggles for a distinctive, lingering hoppiness.
Brewed with the finest East Anglian Pale Ale malt barley, sourced locally to the brewery. We use Fuggles hops which we add late in the boil to preserve the herbal flavours of this traditional English hop.
First brewed in 1967, it was originally called Adnams Best Bitter. It holds our oldest trademark, Southwold Jack, and remains the original hero in our range.
Southwold Bitter is as distinctive as ‘Southwold Jack’ (the knight with the sword) who appears on the pump clip and has done so through many incarnations. Many Adnams beer fans would agree with our Head Brewer that Adnams Bitter is a truly distinctive pint. We wouldn’t be overselling it to describe it as a classic.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

Bottle. Clear dark amber/orange featuring a nice stable white head. Aroma of citrus fruits, tea leaves, herbal hops and toffee. Taste of biscuits, lemons, malts, toffee, orange jam and tea. Dry finish. Moderate herbal bitterness. Low carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel. Well this is lovely but then again I’m a certified sucker for these kinds of ales.

Bottle from Waitrose. Pours a clear dark copper colour with a thin creamy head. Aromas of doughy bread, toffee and caramel. Taste is fairly sweet with more bread, toffee and caramel notes. A subtle earthy bitterness that lasts on the finish. Thin to medium body with a smooth oily mouthfeel. Ok.

Pours a deep amber/brown, with a foamy off-white head, and the aroma of malt loaf/brown bread. Tastes initially of malt with a hit of dry, bitterness from the hops, and a hint of fruit. A very satisfying mouthfeel and a good example of an old school British bitter, leaves a dry, bitter and pleasant aftertaste.
