Swan is a beer brand owned by Lion Nathan. It was originally brewed by the Swan Brewery in Western Australia, but brewing was moved to South Australia in 2013 and to New South Wales in 2021. On 4 August 2022, it was announced that some of the brewing of Swan Draught, but not the Emu varieties, would be moved back to Western Australia, at the Little Creatures Brewery in Fremantle.[1]
