This month we feature the Australian beer Coopers with four different varieties for you to enjoy. Coopers Brewery has a long rich history, which spans from it’s origins in 1862 to the present day.

Thomas Cooper established his brewing business in the new colony of South Australia in 1862. He discovered his talent as a brewer by accident when his wife asked him to brew up a batch of ale to be used as a tonic from an old family recipe.

As if just being great beer weren’t enough, all the selected beers this month are certified Kosher!

Original Pale Ale

Naturally fermented in the ‘Burton-on-Trent’ style, a secondary fermentation creates the trademark sediment that gives ‘Pale’ its fine cloudy appearance. This cloudy residue can be stirred through the beer by tipping or rolling the bottle before drinking. Notes of lemon, coriander, paprika, almond, orange peel and white pepper make this a light bodied but complex pale ale.

Pale Ale has no additives or preservatives.

Coopers Premium Lager

Coopers Premium Lager is quite different to the famous Coopers ales.  This lager produces a refreshing flavor with a good balance of malt and hop characters and is brewed using no sugar. With its subtle fruity esters and light golden color, combined with a judicious blend of Pride of Ringwood and Saaz hops.  This produces a Lager with a crisp malty full flavor. Toasty notes of hay and lemon peel make this a very enjoyable easy drinking beer.

Extra Strong Vintage Ale

If fine wine were beer it would no doubt be Coopers Extra Strong Vintage Ale. This strong ale imparts rich full flavors that are suitable for maturation. Brewed with choice malts and an extended top fermentation, Coopers Extra Strong Vintage Ale will improve with age, becoming more interesting and complex in flavor for up to 18 months. The results are well worth the wait!  With a lot of complexity this beer has notes of spiced orange, caramel, cinnamon and toasted hazelnut.
