The Emu Brewery was a brewery in Perth, Western Australia, which traced its history to the first decade of the Swan River Colony. Founded in 1837 by James Stokes as the Albion Brewery, it was located beside the Swan River on a block bounded by Mounts Bay Road, Spring Street and Mount Street. The business changed hands several times – and names from Albion Brewery to Stanley Brewery to Emu Brewery – until its ultimate acquisition by competitor Swan Brewery in 1927.
New brewery buildings were constructed over the years. The most notable of these was an imposing Art Deco building erected between 1936 and 1938. This building continued to be used to produce Emu-brand beer until the late 1970s, when production was shifted to a new factory in Canning Vale. As of January 2025, Emu beer continues to be produced as a brand of Swan Brewery owner Lion Nathan.
