Coopers is a brewing family. Its in their blood. For six generations they've been custodians of a proud legacy that began in 1862 when Thomas Cooper brewed his first batch of ale. Their passion for brewing has kept them together and helped them through economic recessions, wars, government imposts, changing tastes, and the occasional hostile takeover bid.
Today, their unique brand of naturally conditioned ales and stouts are enjoyed around the world and they're still making these beers using the same traditional brewing methods that Thomas Cooper did. And when they say hand-made by the Cooper family', they 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 they are Australia's oldest family owned and run brewery, and that's not changing anytime soon.
