Hairy Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 my no1 question' date=' why 355ml bottles and not the normal 375ml bottles ??[/quote'] So you can sell a lower quantity of beer at the the same price as 375ml. Maybe I am cynical but I have been scarred ever since a lot of Sydney pubs introduced the Schmiddy (in between a schooner & middy) but continued to charge the same price, if not more, as a schooner. On a positive note, I am looking forward to trying the Celebration Ale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Does anyone remember when cascade changed to 330ml bottles? It diddnt take long to change back after the good old locals complained like no tomorrow and sales plumited. Of cource after a couple of months the price went slightly up as it would have anyway but complaining and refusing to drink what you love sometimes is the only answer [happy] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundawake Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I did the tour at Coopers Brewery yesterday and was fortunate enough to sample some! I asked about the smaller bottles, and asked if the regular ale lineup would switch to the smaller bottles. Was told resoundly 'absolutely not.' Oh the beer, it was good [biggrin] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madabl Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 does anyone know who will be stocking and a average price on it thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I don't know for sure but I would guess that they would be sold by those that currently stock the Vintage Ale. Here is a quote from the pdf that was linked in Post#1: "Celebration Ale is expected to retail for around $55.00 per carton" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Picked up a 6 pack of this the other day. I must say, this is the BEST Coopers beer I've ever tasted. It's a perfect balance of hops and malt, and you can really taste the Coopers yeast. I really hope they keep this one in production because it'll be my go-to coopers beer. Well done Coopers!

AdamH1525226084 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I picked up a slab for $65 from Purvis in Surrey Hills (Melbourne). It's quite good. Beautiful colour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree. Found a single carton that the Tonsley had last thursday, and by about my third beer I had decided it was the best beer Coopers have ever made. Its sensational.

RobH1 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Had a few Celebration Ales at the 150th party on 27 May and found last six pack at Dan Murphy's, Frankston yesterday. The malt wort used in this brew tastes very similar to the Original series Real Ale. The three hops infused in the Ale fully enhance the flavour and bitterness . A true Coopers beer right up there.

GrahamB8 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I had a 1 bottle of 6 this weekend (going to have 1/month to see if it changes). Reminded me of a Dubbel with less body it had a sweet edge to it. Nice Coopers yeast charector (I agitated the bottle before opening). Head collapsed almost immediately which was the only disappointing thing about the beer I poured but that could have easily have been my glassware. I noticed the bottles are very thin and clearly state that there non-reuseable so be carefull if your considering harvesting them. Overall nice beer, almost as good as my own [lol] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
