Swan BreweryThe Swan Brewery was founded in the the centre of Perth, Australia in 1837. The brewery produces local brands such as Swan and Emu, as well as national brands Tooheys and Hahn. In the 1980s, the company was part of the empire of the failed tycoon Alan Bond. It has since been acquired by Lion Nathan, a multinational Australian brewing concern that accounts for many different beers in the Asia-Pacific area. The 1879 brewery building on the Swan River foreshore is iconic and a well-known landmark to all locals. It gained noteriety in the 1990s after land disputes between local Aborigines and developers who wished to turn the area into a commercial precinct. External links
