Swan Valley breweries and distilleries offer a unique opportunity to sample a variety of award-winning local beers, spirits and premium wines. There are two distilleries and five boutique beer outlets in total, including microbreweries and German style beer cafes serving their own brews with hearty, wholesome fare.
Breweries
An impressive variety of beers are served at Swan Valley breweries that you won’t find anywhere else in the world. Catering for connoisseurs of every kind, you’ll find lagers, pilsners, ales, wheat beers and stouts, all handcrafted following traditional techniques and using the best local produce. Many are organic and preservative free.
Check out the list of Swan Valley breweries and while you’re visiting be sure to ask for a ‘Brewer’s Handle’ to sample the latest creations while enjoying tasty food in the picturesque beer gardens.
Distilleries
Two of Western Australia’s best distilleries can be found in the Swan Valley. The Great Northern Distillery is home to the award-wining Canefire Rum, which is brewed longer than any other spirit using sugar and doesn’t taste as harsh as rum made from molasses. Vodka, liqueurs, cocktails, unique syrup mixers and a small selection of fortified wines are also available for purchase.
The Wild Swan Distilling Company first opened in 2002. Here you can sample a unique range of vodkas infused with flavours ranging from green tea, to chili and coffee and vanilla. They also produce whisky, rum, brandy and gin.
Why not join a tour of the Swan Valley breweries and distilleries for a fun day out with friends and family? Or check out the Swan Valley Food and Wine Trail to plan a day out sampling local beers and spirits. Remember, beer and spirit tastings add to your blood alcohol concentration, so nominate a skipper and read Road Safety for alcohol law information.
