Coopers Vintage Ale (2025)

THE CRAFT

In keeping with its long heritage, the 24th of Coopers’ Vintage brew does its name (and predecessors) justice. And it’s this long heritage that means this limited seasonal release is never around for long. And once they’re gone, they’re gone. THE TASTE

Thanks to the German hop variety, Solero, this year’s vintage is bursting with tropical fruit aromas that results in a full-bodied ale. You can enjoy the passionfruit, pineapple and pine characters straight from the bottle-shop, or cellar it to enjoy a maltier, complex ale — drinker’s choice. THE EXPERIENCE

‘It’s an exciting time when our Vintage Ale comes around. We pick a great selection of hops, and this year is no different. For ’24 we have used BRU-1 hops from Washington state combined with Solero hops which were bred in Germany from Cascade. These bring wonderful flavours to the beer, including dried apricots and other stone fruits, stewed pineapple, herbaceous and piny characters.’ – David Medlyn, Technical Brewer.
