• Sample a variety of XXXX beers during the dedicated tasting session at the tour's conclusion

• Collect your $5 merchandise voucher to take home a taste of Brisbane's brewing heritage

Hidden Gems

• XXXX has maintained its original recipe and brewing methods for over a century, offering a living piece of Australian beer history

• The brewery's location in Bowen Hills provides a local neighbourhood vibe distinct from Brisbane's central business district

What Makes it Special

• Over 135 years of continuous brewing heritage make XXXX one of Queensland's most iconic and historic beer brands

• The tour provides genuine 'backstage' access to the brewing process, not just a museum-style display

• You get to taste fresh XXXX beers straight from the source, including varieties you may not find elsewhere

Perfect Timing

When to visit for the best experience

Weekday mornings tend to be less crowded and offer a more intimate tour experience. Brisbane's dry season from May to September provides comfortable weather for exploring the surrounding Bowen Hills neighbourhood before or after your tour.

Photography Guide

Capture the perfect shots

• The Packing Hall's towering machinery and vibrant branding make for striking industrial photography

• Natural light in the tour areas is good, but avoid using flash near brewing equipment and staff

Tipping is not expected in Australia, but showing appreciation for your guide's knowledge is always welcome. Respect the active working environment by staying with the group and following safety instructions.
