What To Expect

Make your own way to XXXX Brewery to meet your guide in the visitor center. Start with an introduction to the history of beer making, then witness one of Queensland’s most renowned breweries at work.

Your guide provides safety gear before leading you through the historic site. Check out the machinery that brews and bottles beer as you enter the Packaging Hall (open most weekdays) and watch thousands of beer bottles whiz past you on a distribution line. XXXX employs a state-of-the-art packaging operation, and most breweries don't allow visitors to get this close.

After seeing the inner workings of the brewery, stroll into the XXXX Restaurant and Bar where professional bartenders demonstrate how to pour the perfect glass of beer. Taste delicious XXXX brews as your guide provides insight about the distinctive flavors. Chat with your guide and fellow beer aficionados until your tour wraps up.

Feel free to linger in the bar and enjoy XXXX's legendary beers before making your way to your next destination in Brisbane. You may want to purchase a bite to eat in the restaurant or hit the gift shop before leaving.

Paul was our tour guide and he was fantastic! Very friendly and knowledgeable - he took his time to explain everything and so make the tour feel very personalised. Highly recommended if you are in Brisbane!

Must do Tour!

emily_c, Oct 2023

Fabulous tour! We were given plenty of knowledge about how the beer is made and shown all the different areas in the factory plus many facts about its history. I would recommend the burger at the end, really tasty and enjoyable!

Average

Ethan_J, Oct 2023

It was a shame the factory was all but closed for our tour so we didn’t get to the see moving components. However, our guide although a little dull and monotone was very informative. Definitely open for the burger package as they were delicious.

Great experience

Teresa_G, Jul 2023

Our tour guide, Josh, was excellent. Very knowledgeable and told the story behind the brewery with great humour and personality. The food was fantastic as was the beer! Highly recommend this!

Great Experience

Marie_A, Jun 2023

I was a little worried as my husband wanted to do the tour and I’m gluten intolerant, so I thought what’s the point. How wrong I was. The tour was amazing, informative and had a great time. I chose the tour with food and I was given a plant based burger on a gluten free bun and a gluten free beer to try at the end of the tour. It’s nice to feel included and many thanks to the whole staff who have been welcoming and accomodating.

Brian L, Nov 2017

The tour it's self was excellent, very informative and interesting. The facilities at the complex were good and the food in the restaurant was very enjoyable. The only fly in the ointment was that we were told the wrong bus number to get from the city to the brewery by the information centro in the Queens St mall and finished up in Auchenflower where we had to find the railway station to get a train to Milton..,which made us late for the start of our tour. Fortunately we were able to change to a later tour. There was no information on the station platform to tell us what train to get which is disconcerting for visitors not used to the Brisbane transport system
