Adnams

The core AF beer launched in 2018. Adnams invested in a dedicated reverse osmosis plant to produce it, a membrane-based filtration system that separates alcohol from the finished beer without heat. This allows the beer to be brewed at full strength before the alcohol is removed, preserving the flavour profile built during fermentation rather than brewing to low strength from the start.

The AF wine range is produced using spinning cone technology, a low-temperature method that passes wine through a series of rotating cones under reduced pressure to separate the alcohol while protecting aromatic character. Adnams also produces a low-alcohol cider made from English bittersweet apples.

The core AF beer carries the broadest retail footprint, stocked across mainstream supermarkets as well as specialist alcohol-free retailers and the brand's own direct channel. The wine and cider products have narrower distribution, available primarily through specialist alcohol-free retailers and Adnams' own site.

The range suits sober-curious drinkers who value the assurance of a long-established regional brewer behind the label. Mid-range pricing across the portfolio reflects the brand's heritage positioning without tipping into premium territory.
