It comes after Australia's Commonwealth Games Minister Kate Jones teamed up with Queensland brewery XXXX prior to April's multi-sport event.

XXXX Gold had already been named as the official beer of the Games in August last year.

The Gold Coast cans, which will be limited edition, will feature sports such as swimming, cycling and athletics.

"In years to come, these cans will be a special part of Queensland's history," said Jones.

"It's pieces of memorabilia like this that last generations - people will be able to hand down these cans as a reminder of the largest event in Queensland's history.

"Visitors from overseas will be able to take home a souvenir that is uniquely Australian. 

"Nothing screams Queensland like an XXXX beer can designed to celebrate the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games.

"The XXXX brewery is an icon in Queensland so it's only fitting they produce the official commemorative cans for the Commonwealth Games."

Special cans were also created for the Brisbane 1982 Commonwealth Games, also in Queensland.

"We are really excited to be brewing XXXX GOLD in these special cans and create something nostalgic for Queenslanders," said brewery director Irene Bell.

"The commemorative cans are a nod to our long-standing support of the Games and the Australian team.

"Sport brings us together and helps us celebrate the best of being Australian, something we hope the commemorative cans will also achieve." 

XXXX Gold is brewed by Castlemaine, which is owned by Australian company Lion. 

Gold Coast 2018 opens on April 4.
