After hearing so much about Coopers Original Pale Ale both here and elsewhere, today I finally worked up the courage (no pun), bit the bullet and purchased a stubbie whilst I was buying some vino. Having terrible memories of passing through South Aust back in the 70's and finding only Southwarks & West End the only beers (beers?) available I'd sworn that SA "P1 double 5" would never touch my lips again.
I waited til my boys came home from school and we sat down and prepared to do the big taste test. The boys always sample the homebrews and can be very unforgiving if I stuff up, so I knew that they'd be critical of the Pale Ale if it wasn't up to scratch.
However, we were absolutely amazed at how good this drop is and I still can't believe that this is Croweater brewed. I'm now looking forward to trying the other Coopers I saw in the fridge.
Like I said in the heading- Never Thought I'd Ever Say This.
In light of the current argie bargie between the Vic & SA Premiers and in order to improve relations between the two states, I'd like to make a proposal to any Croweaters who are reading- how about you send me over a couple of slabs of OPA and I'll reciprocate by sending you back some VB.
Sounds fair?
