Noun sense:

Poor, weak beer; small beer.

I can find evidence for "swipes" in this sense, but nothing for "swipe". Mihia (talk) 03:51, 7 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

I altered the definition slightly -- because in most of the examples I found, swipe was moonshine, not beer. I have added a number of cites. Kiwima (talk) 05:53, 7 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
