Elusive Ginger

[Ocean's of Ale-]

This is more of a friendly inquiry directed towards "team Coopers" than anything else...

But, given the popularity of ginger beers theses days & the fact one can go down to there local pub & ask for a variety of different commercial ginger beers...

Q) Is there any hope of Coopers re- booting its elusive forgotten project of a ginger beer kit? ... again?

Or has that plane crashed into a sea of malted barley ?

I hope I am not being too cheeky here (?)

I know you folk in Adelaide can get very touchy..

( Is the heat? Or the mediocre footy teams?...both?)

Apparently the Morgan's GB'S aren't available untill  this May (2023) as i understand, which has motivated my nosey inquiry.

I seem to remember, but could be wrong that Coopers said they would no longer be making the Ginger Beer kit.

This was quite some time ago.

Our Ginger Beer kit was taken off the market about a decade ago for a "brief" reboot, primarily to rework the recipe sans artificial sweetener. I know we've been saying it for while, but I reckon we really are at the pointy end now. If the recent trials are deemed a success and the stars align, we should see the new Ginger Beer kit available in the next few months.  All the usual Ginger Beer disclaimers apply, so don't hold me to this! Cheers, Frank.

Well Frank, all of Coopers beers are awesome so I can't see the Ginger Beer not being the same.

Imagine my shock at reading your response !!!

If this customer could offer some honest advice to the shop keeper,

For some, yes there was a little issue with the     artificial sweetener, 

As no doubt you would be aware,  a fairly large percentage of brewers keg so like cider they can back sweeten there ginger beer naturally.

As for bottle brewers & prehaps lazy keg brewers,  just put the artificial sweetener in a yeast like pack & let the brewer decide if they than wanted it sweet, mild or bone dry.

Personally for me & my mates we never had an issue with the Coopers ginger beer kit in the first place.

I have no doubt given Coopers very high standards & very clever master brewers you will have no problems resolving this. 

Thanks for hearing me out & I do appreciate your response,  cheers Frank.

Will it be more like a ginger-infused beer or a ginger beer in the classic sense? You know, the soft drink like alcoholic (or not) beverage?

Hey AK let's hope it's got a kick like a Mule.

It will be along the same lines as the previous iteration of our Ginger Beer, in that you'll have the option of making a non-alc version for the kids or adding fermentable adjuncts to make it alcoholic. Cheers!
