Coopers Brewery

Coopers Brewery is a cornerstone of Australian brewing history and remains the largest Australian-owned brewery. Founded in 1862 by Thomas Cooper, the business has successfully navigated over 160 years of industry changes while remaining a family-owned and operated enterprise, now spanning six generations. The brewery is famous for its unique natural conditioning process, which creates its signature cloudy ales and stouts. Thomas Cooper journey began when he attempted to brew a restorative tonic for his wife, accidentally discovering a talent that would lead to a national legacy. Today, the Regency Park facility is a model of modern, sustainable manufacturing, yet it still adheres to the traditional recipes and quality standards established by the founder. From the iconic Sparkling Ale to their world-class DIY home brew kits, Coopers represents the endurance of family values and high-quality craftsmanship within the competitive global beverage market, securing its place as an Adelaide industrial icon and a symbol of South Australian heritage.
