Pale Man Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 Apparently only a limited edition. I can vaguely remember Coopers having a draught before?? 9
Uhtred Of Beddanburg Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 @Pale Man Might have to look out for this one thanks for the heads up. 3

Pale Man Posted March 25, 2023 Author Posted March 25, 2023 Quite refreshing. Nice malt taste. Not a great deal of hop around. But very smashable if you've mowed the lawn or been fishing. Quite like it. Keep it Coopers. Be better in bottles I reckon. 5

Hey Pale One, I just picked up 4 for $12.00 at Thirsty Camel - Highway Hotel. It worked out sweet, I took some cans & bottles to recycling & got $15.00 so I have got $3.00 to invest. I will give my appraisal shortly. Edited March 25, 2023 by Classic Brewing Co Forgot to add the picture 3

I grabbed a six pack, but not sure what I payed as the Mrs ciders were in with the price. 1
Classic Brewing Co Posted March 25, 2023 Posted March 25, 2023 (edited) OK, first taste, it is nice & clear, fresh , malty with a nice bitterness typical of a lager style, no real hop taste. It's Ok I would drink it, but as @Pale Man says it would taste better in glass or out of the tap. I much prefer Ales but this Draught would beat most of the other brands around in this style.

Tricky Micky Posted March 25, 2023 Posted March 25, 2023 Disappointed! Went to Uncle Dan's and no show - not yet anyway. Typical Melbourne.

I suspect the south aussie's are keeping it for themselves. I will have to wait until somebody smuggles a boot load across the border. I did a bit of searching, no news of it, nothing online whatsoever 1

I did a bit of searching, no news of it, nothing online whatsoever At one of my regular Thirsty Camel Pubs, it is available in single cans for $3.50 each or packs of 18 for $39.99 which works out to $2.22 each but I got 4 for $12.00 - $3.00 each. It seems to be a limited edition & there is no information that I can find on the internet about it or availability. 2

Looks like they are testing it out on us first Tricky, there is an old saying " Made in South Australia for South Australians" but that may not be the case Maybe @Coopers/ Frank can clear this up. 1

I think you are right - on the can it says "Proudly brewed in SA" 1
Cheap Charlie Posted March 25, 2023 Posted March 25, 2023 Any more info on this brew @Coopers DIY Beer Team? Limited release for South Aussies only? Or will it be distributed nationally? There was no info on the coopers website. 1
Coopers DIY Beer Team Posted March 26, 2023 Posted March 26, 2023 Genuine Draught is a limited release product available in SA and WA Independent Banner Groups only (Sip n Save, Thirsty Camel etc.). So you won't see it in the national chains (Dan's, BWS etc.) or in the eastern states. Cheers! 3 1
DavidM Posted March 26, 2023 Posted March 26, 2023 I had better get out and grab some before they go.. 1
Cheap Charlie Posted March 26, 2023 Posted March 26, 2023 ok, may have no choice but to clone this recipe then, looks to be 7-8 EBC and about 20 IBU's from the reports. It will be the "Non-Genuine Coopers Draught" 2 2

It will be the "Non-Genuine Coopers Draught" I'd love to know what lager yeast Coopers use. I don't know how you'd go cloning this. Maybe use Coopers Pale Malt, lager yeast and who knows what hop for bittering. Probably POR. There's not much in the beer as far as hop flavour, but perfect bitterness. Its a nice beer. If its permanent I'd buy it regularly. 5
Cheap Charlie Posted March 27, 2023 Posted March 27, 2023 My guess is a basic brew, 4kg Coopers pale malt at 64º for an hour and 20g POR at 60 minutes boil, and use novalager. I will assume as it says "genuine" it does not contain any sugar. I will do this as my next brew. I also would love to know what yeast they are using. 3

Cheap Charlie Posted May 11, 2023 Posted May 11, 2023 well well well.. it seems Coopers DIY have beaten me to the punch with a ROTM clone recipe.. er well, I guess it's a genuine clone of their genuine draught? I'm confused now.. and resurrected from 1985 no less! anyway, I will still attempt a clone even though us banana benders aren't allowed to sample the genuine product. Great clues on how to construct this brew, challenge accepted! I wonder if the decision for the ROTM was based on this thread? Anyway, thumbs up from me, will probably try this ROTM to see how she turns out 2
