Get ready for the beer season with Coopers

Summer is just around the corner – and so is the beer season. For those consumers with a hankering for exotic brews, Coopers fits the bill. Coopers was founded in 1862 and is the only independent brewery in Australia today. Supplied by Preiss Imports, the Coopers brand includes the following beers:

• Coopers Dark Ale: A journey in taste, starting fresh and creamy, and finishing with a lingering coffee flavor.
  
  
• Coopers Original Pale Ale: Light on the palate with a full, fruity ale flavor and a fine, cloudy residue.
  
  
• Sparkling Ale: Displays a solid head and a distinctive, full-bodied flavor enhanced by a soft, fruity character.
  
  
• Coopers Vintage Ale: The product of brewing with a selection of barley and wheat malt and specially colored malts balanced by Hersbrucker, Cascade and Pride of Ringwood hops. Coopers Vintage will become more complex for up to two years.
  
  
• Best Extra:The Grand Champion of the Australian Beer Awards has a rich and dark texture produced by Coopers' specially roasted black malt. Its high carbonation makes for a lively mouth feel.
