“An Australian lager is brewed with local ingredients for local tastes – crisp, fresh and easy to drink,” says Jon Meneses, Brewing and Supply Chain Manager at Coopers Brewery. “There’s a huge market for Australian-style lagers, with people wanting something fresh, local and independently brewed”.

That’s exactly what Coopers Australian Lager delivers – a balanced, approachable beer made for Aussie summers, backyard BBQs and moments with mates.

Coopers Australian Lager was created in response to strong demand from pubs and drinkers who wanted a true Aussie lager from an independent, family-owned brewer. For Coopers, it was about returning to simplicity – using quality ingredients, no preservatives and no compromise on flavour.

“Coopers Australian Lager is naturally low in calories thanks to its very low residual sugar,” says Jon Meneses, Brewing and Supply Chain Manager at Coopers Brewery. “There’s less than 0.3 grams of sugar per 100ml in Coopers Australian Lager, which is incredibly low for a full-strength beer. That means fewer calories compared to some other styles, while still delivering a crisp, flavoursome finish.”

“There’s almost no sugar in lager,” says Jon Meneses, Brewing and Supply Chain Manager at Coopers Brewery. “During fermentation, the yeast consumes nearly all the sugar from the malt, leaving just 0.3 grams of sugar per 100ml in Coopers Australian Lager. It’s all-malt, and nearly all the sugar is fermented out. The result is a clean, dry beer with no added sugar.”

“Like all beers, lager is brewed from malt, hops, yeast and water – but the lager brewing process sets it apart from other beers,” says Jon Meneses, Brewing and Supply Chain Manager at Coopers Brewery. “Coopers Australian Lager is brewed with 100% Australian malted barley and Lemondrop and Galaxy hops, then fermented cold with a lager yeast strain. The slower fermentation creates the crisp, refreshing character that defines lager.”

Not this one. Coopers Australian Lager is brewed entirely from malted barley, with no wheat in the recipe.

For maximum refreshment, serve Coopers Australian Lager ice cold – straight from the fridge and poured into a clean glass. This helps release its subtle hop aromas and showcases its crisp finish.

With its clean, balanced profile, Coopers Australian Lager is easy to pair with food. It works beautifully with BBQ classics, grilled meats, fresh seafood, burgers and pizza. “I’d describe Coopers Australian Lager as versatile – a beer that cuts through richer flavours but also complements lighter fare,” says Jon Meneses, Brewing and Supply Chain Manager at Coopers Brewery. “That balance makes it a natural choice for casual meals and summer gatherings.”
