Answer 1

Nail Brewing

Nail Brewing is a Western Australian brewery and the producer of the world's most expensive beer, the Antarctic Nail Ale.

In 1996 John Stallwood registered the company, Nail Brewing Australia. On 23 March 2000 Norman Moore (Minister for Racing, Gaming and Liquor) officially opened Nail Brewing's first microbrewery at Bobby Dazzler's Ale House, (a pub in Murray Street, Perth), releasing Nail Ale, an Australian style Pale Ale. On 9 April 2004 Stallwood was assaulted after intervening in a fight in Fremantle, falling into a coma for ten days, Stallwood's head injuries resulted in a titanium plate being inserted in his skull. As a result, Nail Brewing operations stopped and the equipment was sold.

In 2006 Stallwood re-commenced brewing at Jarrah Jacks brewery in Pemberton. In December 2007 Nail Brewing relocated to Edith Cowan University's Joondalup campus. In late 2010 Nail Brewing produced the most expensive bottle of beer in the world, Antarctic Nail Ale, which was made with water melted from a block of Antarctic ice. The ice was collected by the crew of the Sea Shepherd by helicopter from an iceberg in the Southern Ocean, then flown to Tasmania, melted and transported to Perth. Only thirty bottles were produced, with the first bottle auctioned for A$800 on 3 November 2011, with a second selling, on 19 November 2011, for A$1,850 at a fund-raising event in Sydney.

Over 90% of beer is water, so the Antarctic Nail Ale could possibly be the world's oldest and purest beer.

All proceeds from the sales of the ale went to the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. The previous record holder was The End of The World, produced by Scottish brewers, Brewdog in July 2010.

Swan Brewery

Coordinates: 31°57′55″S 115°50′26″E / 31.96528°S 115.84056°E / -31.96528; 115.84056

The Swan Brewery is a brewing company, whose brewery was located in Perth, Western Australia.

The brewing of beer in Western Australia commenced with the Albion Brewery which opened in 1837 at the foot of Spring Street and Mounts Bay Road, central Perth by James Stokes. In 1880 Stokes constructed a second brewery, the Stanley Brewery, together with an icehouse and malthouse at the foot of Mount Eliza in 1848, using compensation he had been paid by the British Government after his attempts to start a distillery were thwarted by an Act of Parliament. The Stanley Brewery was later leased by John Ferguson, a Scottish sea captain, who appointed a German brewer, William Mumme, to manage the brewery.

In 1857 Frederick Sherwood established a new brewery at the foot of what is now Sherwood Court in Perth, calling it the Swan Brewery, after the black swans that he had seen on the river. Sherwood inherited a successful building firm from his father Richard in 1831 and migrated to the Swan River Colony, with his wife Jessey and three children in 1843. Sherwood, who had been working as an architect/surveyor/builder, established the brewery after the death of his wife, in order to support his six children. He saw the Swan River as the ideal place to build a brewery, as the Swan provided fresh, clean water for making the beer, hiring convicts as a source of cheap labour.
