Adnams claims to date back more than 650 years to the time when it was the brewhouse for Southwold's oldest inn, the Swan. George and Ernest Adnams gave their names to the business in 1872. On its website it states a list of core company values, such as: "We value our place in the community and work to enhance the quality of local life"; and "We encourage diversity of choice, experience an employment opportunity".
