Coopers Brewery Subheading

Born to brew

An unbroken chain of 6 generations of more than 150 years, Coopers Brewery is still using founder Thomas Cooper’s original recipe. Of course, the recipe has been improved upon over the successive years but the fusion of traditional Coopers brewing methods with cutting edge production technology has helped them grow their capacity and deliver consistent brew quality and flavour.

This marriage of century-old brewing techniques and modern innovation is what makes Coopers unique in Australia’s brewing landscape.

When you sip one of our famous Coopers Ales you are tasting over 150 years of brewing history that has been naturally conditioned. This is a centuries old brewing technique that has been handed down from one generation to the next, and only a handful of breweries in the world still have the skill and patience to undertake the process at scale.
