2 hours very well spent! - Absolutely fascinating! The history of the business, the establishment as it now stands, the actual tour (lots of stair cases!) interspersed with real stories about things that happened over the years and then a beer tasting at the end. Don’t forget to order your burger too, the food is delish!

Thanks Ken! - We had a great time, loved seeing the place. Ken was fantastic, maybe a microphone would help outside! A little more time in the "bottle and can history room" would be nice. Otherwise, well worth the tour.

- Fantastic tour. Highly recommended. Our guide, Ken, has 42 years experience of working there and has plenty of anecdotes to entertain as we toured the brewery. One of the best tours I have done anywhere.

Excellent tour & informative - The tour guide ‘Paul’ was very knowledgeable on the brewery and the history of Castlemaine XXXX in Australia, from the beginning to the present day. All the tour group were impressed and enjoyed Paul’s joyful interactions with stories of breweries history and how things have changed over the years, with the introduction of automation. This tour is not just for the beer enthusiasts but also for those who would like an understanding of the development of the industry over the last 2 centuries. We all enjoyed ourselves with a few alcohol and nonalcoholic drinks after the tour.

Great company event - We went on a private tour with lunch for our company's EOFY event. All of our requests have been met with a very nice and positive attitude and they made us feel very welcome. Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and made everything fun. The only downside was that we couldn't see everything in action. Would have booked a different day had I known the one we went the plant isn't on .. Great food and the beer tasting at the end of it was very well received. Thank you vey much!
