Great tour, very interesting and good value!! Worthwhile!! - Decided to do this tour as weather was very wet in Brisbane and it was indoors!! Didn’t know what to expect but would thoroughly recommend!!! Takes about 1.5 hours and you get a tour around the working factory with information on how the beer is brewed and the history of Castlemaine XXXX…..it was very interesting and our guide was quite funny at parts! At the end you get to sample some of the beers which is a nice touch. We also opted for lunch option on our ticket and it was excellent - very tasty burgers & fries! All in all a good way to spend an afternoon….great value for money……

Great Iconic XXXX Brewery Tour - We had a friend visiting from the UK. Took him on this tour to show him our Qld/ Brisbane icon. Booking it was easy. The tour was great. Zac our tour guide was incredible, friendly, funny and had so much knowledge. The production floor was closed when we went but it was still interesting. The beer tasting after was good. And lunch at the end was amazing. Great way to end a good tour. Definitely recommend this to anyone of legal age. They also had PPE, free lockers and shoes/ disposable socks for those who needed them.

Guidet rundtur i bryggeriet - Really good guided tour with 3 small tastings. Fun to see a brewery while production was in progress. We subsequently ordered a burger with chips in their restaurant. Definitely recommended.

Don't waste your money - Visiting Brisbane from England and thought this tour would be a great thing to do for Beer lovers. Unfortunately our experience as a family of 5 was very dull and boring. Our tour guide didn't seem interested in the 20 people that were on the tour, you could see the disappointment on everyone's face!. At one point we were trying to find an exit so we could escape it was that dull... No evidence of Beer being made just a few wrapping machines which made the place look abandoned. The best part was the end so we could finally leave! Waste of 2hrs.

Overall worth the visit. - Tour was very knowledgeable and Zack explained all facets of beer making. It was disappointing that there was no production working. I feel that when booking they should say which day the are in production.

Waste of time - We assumed we were touring a working brewery. The entire brewing process was shut down It was a total waste of our time. Our tour guide told us how it was suppose to all work but didn’t get to see anything first hand
