Description:
Coopers Brewery has released a new beer to mark its 150th anniversary.
Coopers Celebration Ale is a hops-driven traditional ale with a dark-red hue that is distinctly
different in style to Coopers’ other beers.
It incorporates three different hops varieties – Centennial from the USA, Nelson Sauvin from New
Zealand and Pride of Ringwood from Australia – to produce a beer that displays strong estery
characteristics.
Coopers’ Managing Director, Dr Tim Cooper, said Celebration Ale had been specifically brewed to
mark Coopers’ 150th anniversary. However, if it proved popular, strong consideration would be
given to making it a regular Coopers’ line.
“We think Celebration Ale will appeal to those who enjoy slightly hoppier styles of beer,” he said.
“At 5.2% abv, it has a rich aroma of fruity esters with a slight hint of citrus and has a warm finish
on the palate. It is also slightly more bitter than other Coopers ales.”
Dr Cooper said the release of Celebration Ale had been timed to coincide as closely as possible to
150 years from the day that Thomas Cooper made his first commercial brew, on 13th May 1862.
