Black Crow

Des,

 

 

 

Black Crow started around 1995. It was produced for a little while until about 2 years later when sales became extremely low, so production stopped. On its' release Black Crow actually had huge sales but then tapered off. At that stage its demise was most likely due to the fact that mid-strength beer sales in most states were not that popular, except for Western Australia and Queensland.

 

 

 

That was the situation back then. I can rule out for now that Coopers won't be bringing the name Black Crow back on a product, but may down the track look again at midstrength type ales and beers.

 

 

 

Thanks for your enquiry.

 

Cheers

 

Claire

PS - my notes on it are:

 

Now extinct, this Crow was a filtered mid strength ale launched in October 1993 and named by public competition. The name and label colours closely match those of a vastly popular local South Australian Footy team. But even that didn't grab the public eye and it was discontinued in 1997.

hahaha I reckon it might be another full year until this black crow deal is sorted out..! you guys need to use "topic reply notify" by email.. then you'll know when someone has posted a message in here, because you'll get sent an email telling you that there's a new message in the "Black Crow" thread. Stewie posted his first offer in dec 2003.. and BJ still hasnt got the beer.. :lol:

Sure was.

Funny how the two blokes literally had years between conversation and we still don't know if ol mate got his Black Crow. I actually remember that beer it wasn't one of Coopers finest.
