Coopers

Coopers does not make Birrell anymore. It dumped the recipe a year ago. The ultra light that replaced it is called Coopers Ultra Light., though some… Read more

pics in ads still show it as Birrell. It is dishwater now. It is mass produced water flavored with very bitter hops, not brewed anymore. The malty brew taste is not there. Don't waste your money.. It has gone from a really pleasant low alcohol beer to tasting really bitter and nasty.

See,

"Coopers Ultra Light: This product has taken the place of the former Birrell Ultra Light and is available in bottle shops and supermarkets. Coopers Zero: This is a brand new, fully non-alcoholic beer (0.0% ABV) that was launched to meet the growing demand for non-alcoholic options, and it is the first non-alcoholic beer released under the main Coopers roundel branding. The change in branding was part of a strategy to bring consistency to the product line and position the non-alcoholic options more clearly within the main Coopers portfolio."

I would add that the quote is just marketing trash. It was cheaper to flavour water with very bitter hops, then carbonate it, than brewing. Note, the word 'beer' does not appear anywhere on the package or bottles. This happens because Australian companies cannot sell a product as beer if it is not brewed. Coopers tells lies - it is not brewed!

There is an exception to this law. Ginger Beer can be named beer if it is just ginger flavored soda, which most of it is. It must be marketed and sold as 'Genger Beer', not 'Beer'.

Terrible – I May as well have got a case of vb.

non beer drinker who loves this beer – This is the nicest beer that is low carb and low alcohol. Pls bring to Victoria. Hardest beer to find here. Signed non beer drinker who would drink beer if this was readily available.

Commercial home brew – Just a short review, my favorite company and brew. I love the taste of Coopers Sparkling Ale just look at the texture with that sediment on the… Read more

bottom. That's why I call it Commercial Home Brew. Pale Ale is my second choice. It's Coopers or nothing for me.. Thank-you Coopers for still being South Australian, family owned and brewed company.

Cooper's dry problems – Avid drinker of Cooper's dry then it went south. One case had mould in the bottles. Next one tasted like sherbet then the last one was cloudy and sweet, unfinished. Three strikes and your out.

Coopers Brew Kit - Waste of money, time and beer – Poor manufacturing quality control. Second brew - drawing off a sample to test the SG, the snap tap snapped spilling beer all over the floor.… Read more

Hydrometer graduations impossible to read without a magnifying glass. I cut my losses and purchased a more robust brew kit.
