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. From Ice Box Liquor, Tenterfield. Pours a cloudy golden amber with a large white head of foam and high fine carbonation. Some sediment floating around. Citric nose, orange pith, rockmelon. Excellent body, viscous. Taste is full of bitter fruitiness. Finish is dry with notes of peppery hops. Late alcohol noticeable. Quite an 'adult' interpretation of an English IPA.

Can. Not far off clear golden amber (didn't mix in the sediment) with a large white head that lasts pretty well. Very subdued aroma is weedy and earthy with some bread. Medium bodied, highish carbonation - but still soft textured. Firm bready malt with some stone fruit and lots of marmalade-like citrus. Now I've swigged I can just about pick it in the aroma. Long bitter finish (I'd have guess much more than 40IBU). Let down by the aroma but pretty good.

Pours gold with a large fading head. Nose shows soft floral hops, a bit of a fruity note and typical coopers yeast with its doughy notes. Flavours include more doughy notes, a bit of an apple skin character and a gentle bitterness on the finish.
