After 28 trying out various trades, Thomas Cooper discovered his talent as a brewer when he created his first batch of beer as a tonic for his ailing wife. That day was in 1862. Successive Cooper generations have never lost sight of Thomas Cooper’s vision of providing value and quality since. Over 150 years, Coopers has survived economic recessions, wars, government imposts, changing fashions, and a hostile takeover bid. Today, Coopers stands proudly as the sole major brewer 100% owned by Australians, and holds over 5% of the Aus. beer market.
