At the 5:45pm all arrived at the Den, bar Chris Goninon, who met us at the Milton XXXX factory. We all then travelled up the hill to the 385 stop to catch the bus to Roma St. Station, and to then catch the train from Roma St. to Milton station. Following the travel, we arrived right on the dot at the XXXX factory (a punctual lot, we are!).
The factory commenced at around 6:15pm, opening with some history of the factory, which lasted around 15 minutes. Following this, we were taken for a tour through the factory, where we saw both the employees and the machinery hard at work, filling and creating countless cans (and bottles) of beer. There was quite a bit of spillage on the ground floor too! It's a wonder the workers don't get pulled up for drink driving (even if they don't intentionally consume any)! We also found out that Tooheys Extra Dry and Hahn Superdry beer was made at the XXXX factory.
After the tour, we were given a drink card that allowed us 4 free drinks from the bar (for those of age), including one glass of XXX Sparkling Beer (that's right, triple X, not four X). Sam and Emile quite enjoyed the Carbine Stout (which, as well as the XXX, was exclusive to this particular bar), while Kerry and Iain favoured the XXX (yeah, Kerry drank beer!). With our drinks, we had ordered three lots of XXXX-Beer-Battered Chips, which tasted even better than expected (not just a side-effect of the beer, that's for sure!).
Following the drinks, and the food, we all trudged off back to the train station and commenced our journey home.
