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.

Australian IPA from Coopers Brewery

7.5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8
An enjoyable IPA with the signature Coopers flavour all over it. Some pine, melon, mandarin and honey aromas lead into a strong, bitter pine flavour with heaps of that Coopers yeast and malt. I'm sure this won't be everyone's cup of tea, but I really like it.

Dark brown with a frothy head. Aroma of roasted grains, mineral water, chocolate. Taste has a very mild sweetness up front, mildly bitter and mineralic at the end. Medium-bodied, smooth, moderate carbonation. Simple but okay for casual drinking.

12.7 oz. Gots to get something from that Australian Pale Ale category! Aroma is bready malt, grain. Pours hazy pale golden with a quickly collapsing bone-white head and lots of sediment. Taste is light to moderately sweet with some faint bitterness in the finish. Bready malt and herbal hop flavors. Prickly carbonation. A simple unassuming pale ale. Not bad.

6.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Cerveza de color totalmente negro con espuma de color tostado bastante densa, corta pero de buena retención.
Aroma muy característico a café y malta tostada. Sabor que acompaña al aroma: el café y el tostado/torrefacto inundan la boca, final largo y amargo. Cuerpo medio-alto y baja carbonatación.
Stout con mucho carácter, quizás para mi gusto demasiado torrefacto.
