Coopers Brewery has updated its Vintage Ale packaging to reflect the brewery’s new brand design ahead of the seasonal ale’s 2023 release, the 23rd in a series of Vintage Ales that commenced in 1998.

Each year, the Coopers brewing team creates a craft style beer characterised by its hop selection. The limited-edition Coopers 2023 Vintage Ale features American hop Talus which provides intense fruity and floral flavours.

In keeping with the heritage of Vintage Ale, this year’s release is a full-bodied, extra-strong ale sitting at 65 IBU and an alcohol level of 7.5 per cent ABV.

Coopers MD and chief brewer, Tim Cooper, said the 2023 Vintage Ale continues the brewery’s tradition of producing highly popular annual seasonal releases.

“Australian drinkers have a real thirst for seasonal brews, and we expect loyal Coopers drinkers will be exceptionally pleased with this year’s Vintage Ale release. 

“The flavour hero of the 2023 Vintage is Talus, a dual-purpose American hop that delivers bold aromas of citrus and berries, with grapefruit, stone fruit, coconut, and pine on the palate,” said Cooper.  

Like all Coopers ales, Vintage Ale undergoes secondary fermentation and natural conditioning.

Released in the lead up to Father’s Day, Coopers 2023 Vintage Ale is available in liquor outlets in 355mL bottles, 6-packs and 24-pack cartons.

Consolidation at the top, restructuring in the middle, and bold innovation at the edges have reshaped the industry’s horizons. At the same time, regulators, brand owners and recyclers have inched closer to a new circular operating model, even as policy clarity remains elusive.
