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.

Learning (and beer) - Do you like beer? Do you like learning? Then a XXXX tour is to-do in Brisbane. We were so lucky to have Paul, who has worked with XXXX since the 70’s lead our tour. His historical knowledge made the tour so story rich that this is a must for beer enthusiasts!

A bit of history and a few beers 😎 - Great tour. Highly recommend. Ken was excellent, very knowledgeable and loved to share his experiences from working there. It’s so heartening to see that they are focused on sustainability and reusing as much of the by-products/waste as possible 👍

Great brewery tour! Make sure you sample the food and beers. - Great tour that covers the history of brewing, the story of XXXX, all of their advances and initiatives, and they still invite you to their tasting room at the end too. The burger and fries are amazing and the other orders looked just as delicious. Ken is a great guide. Thank-you for returning to the brewery to lead these tours. You add great context balanced with the fun of seeing the end to end workflow and rounded out with some beer.

I'm sorry - I was really looking forward to it, but I can't make a reservation because I have a minor with me! It's a shame. It's Australia after all. I can understand why.
