Other Details
Casks of Adnams ale used to be delivered to the pubs of Southwold by horse and dray until September 2006, when the distribution centre was moved to a new location two miles outside the town. Adnams' most recent advertising campaign has the slogan: "Beer from the Coast". Adnams is also a major regional wine merchant and pub company.
The company founded a charity, The Adnams Charity, in 1990 to celebrate its centenary as a public company. A percentage of the company's annual profits is used to support worthwhile causes within a 25-mile radius of Southwold.
In June 2009, Adnams signed a 5-year agreement to supply Ipswich Town FC with beers at their Portman Road stadium replacing the 14 year old association with Greene King, which in turn replaced the long links between the Club and Tolly Cobbold.
The bitter served in the pub featured in Channel 4's Shameless, The Jockey, is Adnams Old.

Famous quotes containing the word details:
“There was a time when the average reader read a novel simply for the moral he could get out of it, and however naïve that may have been, it was a good deal less naïve than some of the limited objectives he has now. Today novels are considered to be entirely concerned with the social or economic or psychological forces that they will by necessity exhibit, or with those details of daily life that are for the good novelist only means to some deeper end.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
“Different persons growing up in the same language are like different bushes trimmed and trained to take the shape of identical elephants. The anatomical details of twigs and branches will fulfill the elephantine form differently from bush to bush, but the overall outward results are alike.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
