Highlights
  • XXXX Brewery Tour - In Queensland, XXXX means beer, but how did this iconic brew get its name? Find out on a fun and fascinating 90-minute tour of the XXXX brewery. Your guide greets you in the brewery’s visitor center. Enjoy an introduction to the history of beer making, and learn some of the brewery’s techniques.

After your introduction, walk throughout the central parts of this historic site. Put on safety gear and check out the machinery that brews, stores and bottles beer.

Most weekdays, you can enter the Packaging Hall to marvel at the state-of-the-art packaging line. Watch thousands of beer bottles whiz past you on a distribution line; most breweries don’t allow you to get this close!

Once you have delved into the inner workings of the brewery, get instruction on how to pour the perfect glass of beer in the XXXX Restaurant and Bar. Taste four freshly made brews with a new appreciation for the work that went into making the tasty beverage.

After about an hour and a half your tour wraps up. Feel free to kick back in the bar and enjoy XXXX’s legendary beers or visit the gift shop before making your way to your next destination.

In Ken We Trust - Brewery tour was amazing. Our guide, Ken, was fantastic. He knew about the history XXXX as well as a great understanding of brewing. He was highly entertaining. It is also this person’s view, me, that causal employees at XXXX should be able to accumulate beer points.

Great Tour with a Fantastic Guide - Ken Our Guide at XXXX was a Library of Knowledge. Having worked at the Brewery for Many Years, Ken was great in Giving the History of the Brewery along with some Interesting facts that I wasn’t aware of. The Production Line was the Highlight of the Tour being able to see where your beer comes from. Great Beer Tasting at the End, Really enjoyed the XXXX Bitter and James Squire Pale Ale. For those looking for a bit of History and a really enjoyable tour while in Brisbane. Look no further than XXXX Tours.
