Lion Red is a lager-style beer brewed by Lion Breweries, part of the Lion Nathan group.

History

The name Lion Red was first adopted by the public to describe the red coloured label and can. Lion Breweries responded by changing the official name from Lion Beer to Lion Red in the mid 1980s.

A small museum chronicling the history of Lion beer is co-located in the Newmarket brewery.
