Great brewery tour - central to Brisbane - This XXXX brewery tour is located very close to central Brisbane and ideal for anyone visiting the city. The tour was scheduled from 1.00pm to 2.30, which was good timing, but you also need to allow extra time for the tasting after. Our tour guide was Ken, he was extremely knowledgable and a very nice chap, he walked us through the whole tour, giving fantastic information about the beers brewed there, but also the history of the brewery and their staff, it was so interesting. We walked through the beer making process, then looked at packaging, bottling etc. Would fully recommend this tour for anyone who has an interest in the brewing process, or you just like tasting beer. We tasted three beers at the end it was in a very nice, bar type setting.

A Must-Do!! - As this was our first visit to Australia, particularly to Brisbane, I researched various activities we could enjoy while on our trip. The XXXX Brewery tour came highly recommended, so I booked it well in advance with the lunch add-on. Both the tour and lunch provided excellent value for money. It was fascinating to learn about the history of the XXXX Brewery and to see the factory's current production in action. Our tour guide, whose name I can't recall, enhanced the experience with his engaging style and extensive knowledge. I highly recommend the XXXX Brewery tour as a must-do activity in Brisbane!

Great tour! - Ken, our tour guide, had worked at the brewery for more than 40 years in many roles, so had a wealth of knowledge to share about the brewery and its workings! The tour was interesting and informative and the pots of XXXX Gold, XXXX bitter and 150 Lashes at the end of the tour were cold and refreshing!

Outstanding Experience - Outstanding tour. Ken was as good a tour guide as you'd ever get anywhere. Passionate, knowledgeable and with a great sense of humour. I'd highly recommend this tour. The beers at the end were a nice bonus.

Very informative - We have been on a number of these types of tour over the years but this one is up with the best. The gentleman who showed us around was knowledgeable and provided an interesting dialogue which kept our attention as we learnt about the beer making process. The only disappointment was the factory was not actually operating, we assumed because it was a Friday afternoon, so I would recommend going on another day because it did spoil the experience a little bit.

Beer review - It was a shame that the factory wasn't running And this was information was not made clear online We would have loved to have seen it in action Sample packs and sampling of different beers would have been good

An iconic Aussie beer, but the tour left much to be desired. - Technical problems meant the short film about XXXX’s history played at the start of the tour in their theatre wasn’t available. Instead, we sat through a close to 30-minute lecture from the guide before the tour even began. Unfortunately, this set the tone for the rest of the visit. The tour dragged on far longer than expected, not because of group size or engaging questions, but due to the guide’s frequent detours into unrelated, non-beer-related stories. It was a disappointing experience compared to the many other brewery tours I’ve experienced. As typical with breweries, there isn’t any production at the weekend. However given our lacklustre tour this just compounded the disappointment at the experience. The highlight was sampling the XXXX cask beer at the end, which you can easily experience by just visiting their brewery bar.
