Flavour: This Australian lager has a balanced, smooth flavour and body, complemented by mild bitterness and a trace of sweetness. We give GOLD its signature taste by using golden cluster hops that are brewed with the finest ingredients, such as Australian malted barley and our trademark yeast. Oh, and we hold onto that fresh natural flavour by never adding preservatives to the mix. Ever.

XXXX GOLD
Two brothers, One goal
Our story starts back in 1878 with a wide-eyed and crazy dream. Two brothers, Nicholas and Edward Fitzgerald, had one goal in life: to create the finest ales known to man, loved by generations across this sun-drenched land. After starting out in Castlemaine Victoria, the boys decided they needed a world-class brewery (and warmer weather), so they packed their bags and headed to Brisbane.
They bought an old distillery and on the 13th of September of that year, the first beer was sold. And so the Castlemaine Brewery was born, known today as the home of XXXX.
The missing X
At one point or another, every XXXX drinker has pondered the question: what do the Xs in XXXX mean? Well back in the day, beer quality was measured in Xs. The brewery’s first drop produced was XXX Sparkling Ale, awarded a very respectable three Xs. But something was missing. In 1893, the brewers perfected the recipe further, gaining a fourth X – and, some years later, establishing the XXXX name that we all know and love today.
Call in the master
You might not expect a German bloke to be so important in the history of Queensland’s favourite brew, but Alhois ‘Bill’ Leitner would beg to differ.
We think that’s reason enough to wrap your hand around another XXXX, and raise it to the Sunshine State – cheers!
