XXXX's varieties of beers are commonly known in Queensland by their sub-brand designation. For example, XXXX Gold can be ordered by simply asking for "Gold" or XXXX Bitter as "Bitter". Within Australia, the two main varieties are XXXX Bitter (Lager) and XXXX Gold (Lager). Also available are XXXX Draught/Original Draught, XXXX Light Bitter (Lager), XXXX DL (Diet Lager) and Sovereign (Lager).
Previously sold beers, currently not available, include Thirsty Dog (Wheat Beer) and XXX Sparkling Ale.
