This landmark building, standing
high over the banks of the Ure, had fallen in to
disrepair as years of neglect as a semi-redundant
grainstore had taken its toll. Despite its
overburdening rat population, rundown fabric and the
little matter of raising the money, Paul assembled a
small team around him to fight the rats and build a
brewery. A traditional country brewery.
Paul searched the length and
breadth of Britain to find suitable plant and
equipment. The early 90's had seen the demise of
many breweries following the onset of take-over and
rationalisation within the industry. At times it
became a race against the demolition contractor to
whisk away vital and rare equipment before it became
scrap.

TASTING NOTES
Full bodied and warming,
rich in palate, spicy and
aromatic with a deeply
satisfying finish. This
premium ale has been
described as having a
"classic" flavour not
commonly available these
days.
BACKGROUND
The roots of Buckleys
Brewery trace back to 1767,
where, under the ownership
of Henry Child, a prominent
Methodist, the company began
to brew beer in Llanelli.
The Reverend James Buckley
later took on the serious
development of the brewery
after his marriage to
Child's daughter, Maria. The
Rev. James is named after
the founder of Buckleys
Brewery. A traditional
centuries old recipe is
followed to brew this
premium ale, now proving to
be a highly desirable
'guest' throughout the UK.

OUR HISTORY
The earliest recorded
brewing on the site of
Adnams was in 1396 by
Johanna de Corby. The
present brewery was taken
over by George and Ernest
Adnams in 1857 and turned
into a public company in
1891. The Adnams family was
joined by the Loftus family
in 1901, and Adnams still
has three members of the
family working within the
company, with John Adnams as
president, Simon Loftus as
chairman and Jonathan Adnams
as joint managing director.
Adnams remains committed to
brewing cask ale and non
themed pubs. Real Ale is
available in 96 of its 98
pubs and it also supplies
some 750 other outlets
direct. New fermenting
vessels were due to be
installed in 2001 to cope
with demand.
OUR BEERS & SEASONAL BEERS
Adnams Bitter
This is the Classic
Southwold Bitter, full to
the brim with fragrant
aromas of the very finest
hops and malt
It’s dry, yet strangely wet:
refreshing, with a
distinctive liiiiingering
bitterness. In short:
appetising, delicious and
ever so Southwoldy.

Fuller's
beers have a unique record. Since CAMRA (Campaign
for Real Ale) first held their Champion Beer of
Britain competition, Fuller's have won the Beer of
the Year award five times. Our beers have been best
in class no less than nine times and ESB has been
voted Best Strong Ale an unprecedented seven times
making it something of a legend. This is an
outstanding achievement by Fuller's brewers, who,
through the use of traditional ingredients, great
care in the brewing process and stringent quality
controls, continue to produce an unmatched range of
prize-winning beers.
The
brewery began its life in 1990 as the smallest micro
in England in a tiny outbuilding adjoining the
original brewer's house in Sutton on Trent in North
Nottinghamshire by a bend in the River Trent known
locally as Springhead. Their beers soon attracted
critical acclaim from both the trade and the public
alike and after only 3 years the brewery moved to
larger premises and new equipment to enable 10
Barrels to be brewed at one time. Since the
appointment of Head Brewer Shirley Reynolds in 2001
the brewery has gone from strength to strength and
in 2004 a new 50 Barrel plant was commissioned to
meet the growing demand for our beers. The beers,
many of which have an English Civil War theme, are
delivered to pubs within a 100 mile radius and are
available nationally through leading wholesalers.
Hobgoblin
is a powerful full-bodied copper red, well-balanced brew. Strong in
roasted malt with a moderate hoppy bitterness and slight fruity
character that lasts through to the end.
