Coopers Brewery celebrates 160th birthday with a new flavour, Regency Park Red Ale

Celebrating its 160th birthday, Coopers Brewery will release a Regency Park Red Ale. It is the latest addition to the brewery’s craft beer portfolio.

It’s an old name, but it continually reinvents a new taste.

For 160 years, it’s been the staple drink of the South Australian beer lover.

From its humble Norwood beginnings in 1862, to becoming the largest Australian-owned brewery, Coopers will celebrate its 160th birthday with a new flavour, the Regency Park Red Ale.

The beer will be available this year and Managing Director and Chief Brewer, Dr Tim Cooper said Regency Park Red Ale was the perfect addition to its portfolio in this milestone year.

“Coopers have been crafting traditional ales since 1862, when Thomas Cooper began brewing with the exclusive use of malt and hops in his brews,” Dr Cooper said.

“Now, in 2022, we’re pleased to expand our portfolio with the limited-edition Regency Park Red Ale to mark the special occasion of our 160th birthday.”

Carefully brewed, the Regency Park Red Ale uses all the traditional ale techniques that Coopers have up their sleeves and promises to offer a twist on the classic Red Ale style which originates from Ireland.

The Regency Park Red Ale will be available from late March and was created to celebrate Coopers Brewery’s 160th birthday.

“The use of drum-roasted caramel malts creates a rich red hue, while Coopers’ signature top fermentation and natural conditioning contributes to the full flavour and the cloudy appearance from the fine yeast sediment,” Dr Cooper said.

“A selection of all-Australian hops, including Eclipse and Melba, delivers a delicious hop- forward aroma.

“Drinkers can expect flavour notes of stone fruit, grapefruit, mint, and zesty orange peel.”

Coopers Regency Park Red Ale will be available in kegs and 375ml can format from late March.

It is the latest addition to the sixth-generation family brewery’s growing portfolio of craft style beers and follows the limited-edition Australian IPA (released in 2021) and Hazy IPA (released in 2020).

Regency Park Red Ale has an ABV of 5.5% and a bitterness level of 40 IBU.
