In 2014 Lion Nathan moved production of both the Emu and Swan beer brands to the company's West End Brewery in Adelaide.

The last "Emu Brewery" stood at the corner of Spring Street and Mounts Bay Road at the western end of the Perth CBD.

The Art Deco building, designed by architects Oldham, Boas and Ednie-Brown in 1937,[a] featured large interesting and attractive stone motives of brewing activities created by Western Australian sculptor Edward F Kohler.

Swan were proud enough of the building to feature a picture of it on the label of their bottles and cans of Emu Export Lager.

Once this last "Emu Brewery" was closed, proposed redevelopment of the site became a controversial issue as it was overlooked by the Government of Western Australia.
