About
To say we're 'born to brew' may seem like a bold statement, but after dedicating over 150 years to the art of brewing, we believe it's true.

Coopers is a brewing family. Its in our blood. For six generations we've been custodians of a proud legacy that began in 1862 when Thomas Cooper brewed his first batch of ale. Our passion for brewing has kept us together and helped us through economic recessions, wars, government imposts, changing tastes, and the occasional hostile takeover bid.

Today, our unique brand of naturally conditioned ales and stouts are enjoyed around the world and we're still making these beers using the same traditional brewing methods that Thomas did. And when we say hand-made by the Cooper family', we mean it. If you visit the Brewery you'll probably bump into a Cooper who works there. While other breweries might make all sorts of claims about their 'origins' the fact is that we are Australia's oldest family owned and run brewery, and that's not changing anytime soon.

375ml can into schooner glass. From Dan Murphy's, Armidale. Pours a murky red/brown with a large head of foam and thousands of tiny bubbles streaming upwards. Aroma of smoky malt with a few floral notes. Lightly carbonated in the mouth, almost flat. Smooth texture, light fruit with late smoky malt. Old style ale, reminiscent of an English Bitter. Very nice as a sessioner.

hazy pale yellow colour, moderate sized dense off-white head; aroma of pear, grape and grape peel, some grapefruity and yeasty notes; taste is dominated by hoppy bitterness with some grapefruity, as well as fruity notes and some celery-horseradish-like spiciness; correct one

Can. Unclear dark brownish red with a 2cm off white head. Aroma is earthy and bready with orange peel, mint, honeydew melon. Quite a bit of body, moderate carbonation. The taste is much bolder than suggested by the aroma with singed toffee, chocolate, Vegemite, before (pretty strongly) bitter, citrus and spicy flavours at the end. Good stuff. Like the stentorian finish.

375ml can from RusBeerShop in Moscow. Pours hazy gold with a tall white head. Aroma is grapefruit, floral, yeast (that characteristic Cooper’s aroma). Taste is light sweet, citrus, floral hop. Medium bitter finish. Light bodied. Not very interesting.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.
