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.

A HISTORY OF XXXX BEER - Paul was excellent as a guide. A wealth of knowledge about XXXX and the brewing process. A few DadJokes thrown in to keep the patrons on their toes. It is an interesting story and well organised. We finished up by sampling the product am which was most enjoyable.

Very interesting and fun tour. Great beer tasting and food! - Great tour and really appreciated Paul taking us around as he has worked at XXXX for decades, and knew every detail intimately regarding the brewing process, the many efficiency and quality improvements and great memories of the early days when a pot of beer was allowed at lunch and after work!

Fun day with a few free cold beers 😜 - What a bloody great tour enjoyed by the whole family. We were very fortunate to have Ken as our tour guide what a legend. I had a funny feeling he likes a frothy & very passionate about the XXXX Company. Only wish that it was a work day so we could see the operations. But still throughly enjoyed & will be telling my mates.

What a great tour! - We took this tour on Good Friday 2024 and were very lucky to get Ken as our tour guide. Ken was very knowledgeable and very passionate about the brewery. As he had held many positions within the company he had a wealth of information about every area we visited. At he end of the tour he spent a lot of time talking to all of the participants and of course the samples were delicious. After the tour we stayed and had some dinner in the restaurant which was also delicious. Overall a very enjoyable afternoon.

Enjoyable - We enjoyed this tour and the tastings. We decided to walk there from Brisbane, and although the start of the walk was very enjoyable, the end was not as it was on a main road. We would definitelyrecommend getting public transport.
