Swanky beer

Swanky beer is a bottle conditioned beer produced by Copper Coast Wines in Australia for the biennial Copper Coast region Kernewek Lowender Cornish Festival,[1] held in May in alternate (odd numbered) years.

Heritage labels

Swanky has been bottled with a variety of commemorative and heritage labels, depicting historic life on the Copper Coast.

Miner's Light

This is a light beer, brewed in the same traditional way as Swanky, but with a lower alcohol content.

History of Swanky

During the 19th century, many Cornish miners emigrated to the Copper Coast region of South Australia to work in the copper mines at Moonta.

They brought with them local traditions, such as Cornish pasties and home brewed beer they termed "Swanky beer".[2]

Home-brewed Swanky was brewed from various ingredients, including malted barley, hops, yeast, brown sugar, ginger, raisins and soft rainwater. It was put into beer bottles with the tops tied down with twine and stored in the coolest place in the house until ready. and served on festive occasions, such as Easter, Midwinter's Night (Bonfire Night) and Christmas.

Modern Swanky beer is brewed using traditional brewing techniques to produce a refreshing full flavoured beer.
