Castlemaine Perkins

Castlemaine Perkins is a brewery located in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

In 1877, the Fitzgerald brothers of Castlemaine, Victoria bought the site of a failing distillery in Milton and created a brewery, which they named after their home town and its eponymous brewery. They began to brew beer there in the following year and the brewery continues production to this day.

Castlemaine's signature beer, XXXX Bitter (despite its name a lager), was introduced in 1924. The XXXX had been used for a sparkling ale since 1878.

Castlemaine Perkins was acquired in 1992 by drinks conglomerate Lion Nathan.
