A very informative tour presented by Paul that went for 1.5 hours with taste testing. Well worth the tour and the meals are great also

Decided to do this tour as weather was very wet in Brisbane and it was indoors!! Didn’t know what to expect but would thoroughly recommend!!! Takes about 1.5 hours and you get a tour around the working factory with information on how the beer is brewed and the history of Castlemaine XXXX…..it was very interesting and our guide was quite funny at parts! At the end you get to sample some of the beers which is a nice touch. We also opted for lunch option on our ticket and it was excellent - very tasty burgers & fries! All in all a good way to spend an afternoon….great value for money……

The brewery tour was really informative and interesting. Really outstanding that so many beers are made there. Great guide who was very knowledgeable and showed he cared about what he did.

We had a friend visiting from the UK. Took him on this tour to show him our Qld/ Brisbane icon. Booking it was easy. The tour was great. Zac our tour guide was incredible, friendly, funny and had so much knowledge. The production floor was closed when we went but it was still interesting. The beer tasting after was good. And lunch at the end was amazing. Great way to end a good tour. Definitely recommend this to anyone of legal age. They also had PPE, free lockers and shoes/ disposable socks for those who needed them.

Tour was very knowledgeable and Zack explained all facets of beer making. It was disappointing that there was no production working. I feel that when booking they should say which day the are in production.

Really good guided tour with 3 small tastings. Fun to see a brewery while production was in progress. We subsequently ordered a burger with chips in their restaurant. Definitely recommended.

Excellent tour with Zack, knowledgeable, funny, and open to questions. Would thoroughly recommend a visit. Beer tastings and merchandise discount after the tour were great.

It was an interesting tour. Ken, our guide, was great. It was a little disappointing that the production line wasn’t running, as it was a Saturday. I would have booked for a weekday if I’d known. The bar staff in the day were pretty ordinary. They didn’t seem particularly interested in the visitors.

Lots of stairs. Interesting tour guide who has worked in many roles at the brewery so he knows his stuff.

The history of the company was really interesting and filled in a lot of detail Imhad always wondered about. The label and packaging machines were really fast and fun to watch. The process is quite complex but done seemly very easily. An interesting point was that they make less beer than they did 5 years ago, because of overall less consumption of beer in general for Australia.
