History & Background

XXXX Ginger extends the Castlemaine Perkins portfolio beyond traditional lager into the alcoholic ginger beer category, which has grown steadily in popularity across Australia alongside broader interest in ginger beer and craft soft-drink-style alcoholic beverages. Brewed at a session-friendly 3.5% ABV, it leans on genuine ginger root character rather than artificial ginger flavouring, positioning it as a distinct, spicier alternative for XXXX drinkers wanting something outside the standard lager format. It is sold within Australia and is not currently imported or distributed in India.

Brewed using genuine ginger root for spice character, combined with a light malt base, fermented to 3.5% ABV at the Castlemaine Perkins Milton brewery in Brisbane.
