History[edit | edit source]

The XXXX brand has a long history in Australia, with its origins dating back to 1878 when the Castlemaine Brewery was established in Brisbane, Queensland. The name "XXXX" was chosen to signify the high quality of the beer, with each "X" representing a level of quality. XXXX Gold was introduced as a mid-strength alternative to the full-strength XXXX Bitter, catering to consumers who preferred a lighter beer.

Production[edit | edit source]

XXXX Gold is brewed using a blend of premium barley, hops, and water sourced from the local region. The brewing process involves traditional methods combined with modern technology to ensure consistency and quality. The beer undergoes a controlled fermentation process, resulting in its distinctive golden color and smooth taste.
