The Beer Machine Competitors

Coopers Brewery has a long rich history, which spans from its origins in 1862 to the present day. Over 150 years, Coopers has survived economic recessions, wars, government imposts, changing fashions, and a hostile takeover bid. Today, Coopers stands proudly as the sole major brewer 100% owned by Australians, and holds over 5% of the Australian beer market. The brewery produces a range of Ales, Stouts and Lagers. Our ale range is brewed by a method of top fermentation, originating in the Middle Ages. Coopers uses only natural ingredients including malt, hops, sugar, water and a special yeast strain that's over 90 years old. The descendants of Thomas Cooper still run the brewery, and it's an everyday occurrence to meet a Cooper at Regency Park. Successive Coopers have never lost sight of Thomas’ vision of providing value and quality in the form of healthy beer for an appreciative public, and we intend to continue that tradition.

“I strived to create a brewing kit that will make outstanding craft beer right out of the box. It was designed to turn beer lovers into beer brewers and to have my customers make the best possible beer in their own kitchen on their first attempt. When I first wanted to try brewing beer at home, I was in college and couldn’t afford to spend a lot on a typical beer brewing kit. As a lover of high quality beer, I cringed at the thought of making beer with the poor quality products offered by the lower cost beer kits sold in department stores. I knew I could do better and so I set out to create a home brewing kit that was affordable and focused on fresh, quality ingredients to make the best possible beer at home. I began learning all I could about brewing unique, complex beer at home with a larger kit brewing kit. After 2 years of home brewing I scaled down the process and looked for the best possible recipes I could find and started relentlessly testing multiple batches. After 6 months of testing and refining, Craft a Brew LLC was born. We use only high quality, fresh ingredients and the same basic processes that award winning home brewers and professional craft brewers use, at a price that is accessible to just about any craft beer drinker."
