Cheap Charlie Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 ^ I agree, I have noticed this as well, it pays to read the label before you buy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kegory Posted July 26, 2023 Author Share Posted July 26, 2023 I popped into a totally independent bottle shop today. Coopers was the "biggest brand" in the store. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good thing, the only issue is some of the smaller guys can't compete with the discounted pricing however you get what you pay for. Price shouldn't necessarily come before quality. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldbloke Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Weell, I paid through the nose yesterday for two boxes of Coopers mid-ale. Why? It's better, simple as that. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you haven't tried it already, the Coopers Mild Ale recipe produces a fantastic replica of the commercial offering. Use the recovered yeast from some of the bottles/cans you bought and you'll be a happy Oldbloke. Just about to brew it again myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of information in that article @Kegory; a very complicated and competitive scene. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s your problem, try paying with your wallet next time it might be a tad more comfortable! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
