Looks like the Aussies have seen the last of Swan Brewery (make of Swan & Emu brands of beer) as their parent company, Lion Beer Spirits & Wine has decided to shut down the brewery. This from TheAustralian:
Brewing giant Lion made the decision to shut the plant today, saying the facility had been “operating substantially below full capacity for some time and will require significant ongoing capital investment to maintain its current operations, which is no longer sustainable.
”
The decision ends the Swan Brewery’s 155-year association with WA.
James Brindley, Managing Director Lion Beer, Spirits and Wine Australia said the company was committed to Emu and Swan brands and its decision to close the Canning Vale plant was not done “lightly”.
The company intends to transfer its WA keg production and the brewing of Swan and Emu to its West End Brewery in South Australia and its WA pack production to its James Boag and Son Brewery in Tasmania
