Celebrate the 25th Release of Coopers Vintage Ale

Coopers Vintage Ale 2025 is here – and our brew team has gone all out to mark its 25th release.

Crafted with Southern Cross and Peacharine hops, this full-bodied ale is bursting with citrus, pine, and stone fruit, balanced by a firm bitterness and malt sweetness. 

It’s a brew with plenty of history and a bold future ahead. Enjoy it fresh, or cellar it to let the flavours evolve. Available in all good bottle shops and on tap at selected venues for a limited time.
