Genuine Castlemaine XXXX Gold Lager

Castlemaine XXXX is one of the famous Australian beers. In 1878 the Castlemaine Brewery, formed by brothers Nicholas and Paddy Fitzgerald, arrived in Brisbane and started brewing on the famous Milton site. The first brew was known as XXX Castlemaine Sparkling Ale, and was described by the Brisbane Courier as 'a delicious ale of the brightest amber, pleasant to taste, with a peculiarity of flavour not easily described, and an aroma of an appetising nature...'

1928 welcomed the launch of XXXX Bitter, and the start of the great XXXX tradition.

This 1·7Kg kit is the 'genuine article', produced in New Zealand on behalf of the Castlemaine Perkins brewery.
