Cloudy or fine - Anyone from Cooper's care to comment?

[Oliver]

Hello Cooper's people.

 

 

 

Would any of you care to comment on the debate raging at http://www.homebrewandbeer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=156 about whether Cooper's should be served cloudy or clear? (You'll need to scroll about halfway down the page to the first post from bmorey.)

 

 

 

A lot reckon it should be cloudy, but one guy in particular is adamant it should be clear, as the Campaign for Real Ale http://www.camra.org.uk in the UK says real ale should be served clear. However, "real ale" is also conditioned in wooden casks, dry hopped, hand drawn and served at room temperature. Cooper's ain't.

 

 

 

What's the verdict from Cooper's?

Oliver,

 

You have answered your own question.

 

 

 

As you know, we produce kegged bright beer (light and draught) and conditioned beer (mild, pale, sparkling, dark and stout).

 

 

 

We expect hoteliers to serve our conditioned beer on tap with a cloudy appearance.

Paul,

 

 

 

Thanks for that. Just as most of us thought (knew!).

I thought that everybody was supposed to have a meal in a glass whilst drinking Coopers conditioned beer!

I like my PA so that I have to chew it 20 times before I swallow. Some of my Victorian counterparts actually liked the thicker taste, others hated it. I would fill a bathtub and swim in it, if I had 3 kegs to spare and water shortages were severe enough.

 

 

 

I don't like bright PA at all, and cloudy is okay, but Murray River murky is the way for me.
