The West End Brewery in Hindley Street, Adelaide, was a South Australian brewer of beer founded in the colony of South Australia in 1859 by a consortium of brewers. Its West End Ale was a popular brand and the enterprise was a successful one. The company merged with the Kent Town Brewery and Ben Rounsevell's wine and spirit business to create the South Australian Brewing, Malting, Wine and Spirit Company (later the South Australian Brewing Company), in 1888, which continued to use the West End brand.
The building in Hindley Street, known as the West End Brewery, continued to be used by SA Brewing until its sale in 1980. The factory building on Port Road at Thebarton continues to be called the West End Brewery, owing to the large sign advertising West End beer, before and after its takeover by Lion.
