XXXX

Helping orphans the way you would do it
XXXX (pronounced 'Four-ex') is a German style lager beer brewed in Milton, Australia by Queensland brewers, Castlemaine-Perkins, a brewery originally located in Castlemaine, a goldrush town in Victoria, Australia. Its name, first introduced in 1924, is a throwback to the long standing tradition of using X's to indicate the strength of an ale.

It contains 4.8% alcohol by volume (ABV). Described as bland but palatable (with a distinct bitter aftertaste), its frequent imbibing leads to fierce loyalty toward the subject matter. Although generally only available in Queensland, it competes locally with Victoria Bitter and Toohey's New, and not, contrary to popular belief outside Australia, with Fosters. In fact, Fosters (an international Australian icon) is sometimes rarely seen in most of Australia these days, and most Fosters products available in Europe are brewed in the United Kingdom.

Not to be confused with the made up pornographic classification system of the same name, frequently seen in spam email subjects.


XXXX or FourEcks is also the name of the Australia-like continent seen in the Discworld novel The Last Continent by Terry Pratchett.
XXXX, also a song written by Hong Kong's Indie/Hip-Hop band LMF (Lazy Motha Fucka)

It has also been intergrated with the Gen X Cops sound album.

You can't stop me is another song from the Gen X Cops. ---
