PB2 Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Sorry people! Whilst attempting to move the latest post on this topic I deleted the whole topic. So here is a cut and pasted version of the topic. They shouldn't let me go near a computer!! I can write machine code but I struggle with operating PCs. Go figure!!

Have you considered exporting Coopers Pale Ale and if so why have you not done it?

The beer allowed out changes every couple of years, after a popular vote at Australia's main pub, which we call The Pub. Kangaroos are excluded from this event because they make too much of a ruckus, and even the wallabies sometimes start a few fights. Last time we had a vote most of the drongos were too pissed to scratch themselves, so accidentally voted for a crap beer. That's why you see Fosters a lot overseas. But she'll be right, we'll get a few sober Sheilas and Bruces down to the vote next time and get the mighty Coopers over to your place. Come on down and visit sometime, but watch out for the drop bears, specially if they've been drinking. _________________ William Woolmer Editor Cooperspubs.com http://www.cooperspubs.com/menu.html Back to top Rebecca-Coopers Brewery Joined: 01 Jul 2003 Posts: 2 Posted: 17 Feb 2004 05:52 Post subject: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, We at Coopers have not only considered exporting our fabulous Pale Ale but have been doing so quite successfully. We are currently exporting our Pale Ale, Sparkling Ale and Stout to around 20 countries and have recently sent our very first shipment of Dark Ale to the US. Our beer exports have doubled each year for the past five years, and we hope this trend continues. If you are interested in any specific markets please do not hesitate to contact us, alternatively you can find our importers details under the contacts section of this website, simply go to contacts, beer and then international and they are listed by country.

Does coopers export to the US, and if so how is it going over there? Last time i was in the states i only saw Fosters.. It seems they prefer the extremely light / watery beers e.g. Budweiser, Coors.. It's awesome that they sell beer at all night petrol stations though, you can't go wrong!

This is one of our biggest markets for beer exports and as mentioned earlier we have just recently extended our range to now include Dark Ale. We are currently exporting an average of 2-3 containers per month to the US alone. Coopers is a lot stronger than that of most American beers so as you can imagine it is taking quite a bit of promoting, tasting etc. to get it going but we are continuously working at it with enormous help and support from our US importer. Together with our importer we will continue to work hard and hopefully our work will pay off and Coopers will be the new beer of Australia!
