Itinerary
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.

Grant was an amazing guide around the brewery. Great tour and very informative.
Excellent tour, you couldn't get a better guide who is passionate about beer and able to explain the brewing process. I would suggest the tour be at least 30 minutes longer as it was way to rushed
Great tour of the brewery and tasting! A must when visiting Brisbane! We would highly recommend to others
Great experience! Fun and informative and our tour guide was 10/10.
Better off chucking your money in the river, that’s 41 dollars I’ll never get back
Well-informed abs articulate guide took us through the XXXX plant. We appreciated the depth of his discussion, and me and my wife each found favorite new beverages
Really informative and the tour guide who had over 20yrs history was very passionate and knowledgeable
You are basically shuffled from one small room to another. First room was a floor video that was upside down for half the audience. The second room was another video. The next was a small room for a process lecture and the next was another small room with a very dated museum. You will NOT see one product being filled with beer. You get to see a few kegs going passed as you walk to yhe next room. Then to a packaging floor where stubbie bottles are wrapped and cartoned. That's all folks ...rather poor tour in all
It was great learning about how xxxx beer is made. The guide was phenomenal. He explained well and took us around the factory well. I enjoyed tasting the 3 different beers at the end of the tour. Though I got a bit lost finding the entrance, with the help of a worker there, I made it 8 minutes later and still had a great experience. I would recommend anyone visiting Brisbane to go there if you're wondering how beer is made. And of course, if you love beer like me. It's a great tour insight of what is put into the beer.
Paul was very informative, sharing antidotes of his time working there, it brought back so many memories of my dad on his anniversary of his passing, of his 35 years of working with Tooheys days, it was great to see how everything is made what's involved to produce the product. Heads up DO NOT park anywhere near the Brewery on game day, as we got our car towed $67.00 fine from police, they are supposed to ring the person informing them of the violation, which we never received, before they order a tow, of $433.00 luck we could get it back that night, took 3 hrs with the help of the traffic control lady as we needed the car to travel back to NSW.
