Fergus Fitzgerald: Head Brewer, Adnams

Beer Beauty

This week I’m joined by Fergus Fitzgerald, head brewer at Adnams in Suffolk. The brewery is based in the seaside town of Southwold and you might have heard of their popular beers, Ghost Ship and Broadside. If not, then you’re in for a treat as we explore the brewery, the distillery – yes, distillery, and more!

You can also hear two more brilliant #beerlovenotes from drinkers sharing details of their most cherished beer. And I also speak to Duncan and Keith, the founders of the new alcohol-free beer brand, Days Brewing. All the beers are listed below!

Beers mentioned:

• Nevermore is Adnams collaboration with Thornbridge Brewery. An India Porter, which is a dark brown beer at 5% ABV with a raisin-like fruitiness to its flavour https://www.adnams.co.uk/customer/pages/nevermore
• Broadside: stronger at 6.3%, a ruby beer, which for me offers a damson, fruitcake like flavour, and a pronounced bitterness: https://www.adnams.co.uk/beer/adnams-broadside-bottles.htm?gclid=CjwKCAiAhbeCBhBcEiwAkv2cY3vpAegS2M27N9-LGvbhaRHCLY5ezI2Tbia78VDradKMhR8OWzSUzBoCDsAQAvD_BwE
• Spirit of Broadside – ‘beer brandy’ – beer eau-de-vie: https://www.adnams.co.uk/spirits/shop-by-type/other-spirits-1/adnams-spirit-of-broadside.htm
