One of the most respected UK beer producers distilled a spirit straight from a beer that enjoys global success.

Spirit of Broadside was released in May 2012 to coincide with the 240th anniversary of the Battle of Sole Bay which marked the start of the third Anglo-Dutch war and which took place just off the coast of Southwold where Adnam’s is based.
