XXXX Brewery (Castlemaine Perkins)
XXXX Brewery
The century-old brewery of XXXX, Queensland's beloved beer. Guided tours with tastings let you see how it's made.
XXXX Brewery is located in Milton, west of the city centre. It belongs to the Castlemaine Perkins company and has been brewing here since 1878. The giant XXXX neon sign on the roof is one of Brisbane's city landmarks. Visitors can book a roughly 90-minute brewery tour to see the brewing and bottling halls, learn about Queensland's beer culture, and finish with several tastings at the Ale House. Tastings are for visitors aged 18 and over, and ID must be shown. Weekend tours often sell out, so it's best to book in advance on the official website. If you just want a drink and a meal, you can go straight to the Ale House bar. From the city centre, take a train to Milton station and walk for about 5 minutes.
