Malter White Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 @Woodsy1525230278 I'm just wondering, as you're a doctor, can we claim a Medicare rebate when we buy your beer at Dan Murphy? Or even better, can you bulk bill? 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerlust Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I don't feel Coopers will rush the release. There will likely be a process over a period of time up-scaling to commercial specs & maintaining the important aspects of the beer to the same levels as the small volume brew. I imagine there will be a little bit of commercial tweaking but probably only to maintain tasting levels that will take a little time to iron out any creases found from up-scaling. Then the marketing arm will need time to build up interest prior to the release date. The release date will also be pretty important based on the style of beer to maximise sales & that will also be taken into consideration I would think. I love the fact that Coopers are thinking outside the circle & are looking for new avenues, approaches, & styles of beer to interest & engage the public. For a large scale brewery with NO subsidiary handles at their disposal to use in this space, to put their own reputation on the line & go through a process like this is highly commendable I reckon. I hope every Australian drinker supports it. Cheers, Lusty. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmar92 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I agree BL, great work by Coopers in running the competition and then brewing the winners brew. I will certainly be supporting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Instigator Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Personally, I think they need to rename it. "Fruit of the Woods" doesn't really make me interested in the beer. It makes me think more of dark berries etc rather than an NEIPA. Will definitely be buying at a least a sixer, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHAT IS A NEW ENGLAND IPA (NEIPA)? The perfect beer for summer, a New England India Pale Ale (NEIPA) is a style of IPA characterised by big juicy hoppiness (without bitterness), refreshing fruity flavours (without any actual fruit), and a smooth, creamy mouthfeel. - source: craftcartel.com.au Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to BYO: "The aroma and flavor should be dominated by hops, which are quite intense and fresh. The hop varieties used are commonly associated with ripe or overripe tropical fruit (mango, passionfruit, guava, pineapple, papaya, etc.), but can also have some stone fruit (apricot, peach) or citrus (orange, tangerine) character. Excessively resiny, piney, dank, herbaceous, or grassy characteristics are not typically found." Not much in there reminds me of "the woods". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just Googled it and shared. However, the beer is called FRUIT of the Woods. Woods being the brewers name. I think it's quite clever really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
