    Heard a few things about 6 months ago and then the talk just stopped

    Would love to see them do an imperial version of their stout or something

    I heard that it was to be a Vintage Ale made special somehow - in saying that it didn't look partcularly different... but indeed that was along time ago....

    That sounds like Crown Reserve now. $100 a bottle and free Brett in the beer. Nobody in Adelaide could afford it then.

    Cmon, that's a fair price. Redoak's barleywine is $75 and I'm sure it's at least 33% better.

    And if you compare it to Holgate Empress it's positively stellar value

    You get a wood box with the private reserve. If it was Huron pine I would consider it

    Still no major news on the 150th anniversary brew.

    Coopers would only say this in a press release today:

    Mr Cooper said that Coopers had planned a series of events across the nation to celebrate the 150th anniversary, including the release of a special anniversary beer.​

    ​
    Details of the new beer are still under wraps, but in keeping with Coopers tradition it will be a bottle conditioned ale.​

    Heard an interview with Dr Tim Cooper on the latest Radio Brews news. He gave out the following details:
    • 5.2%
    • Red hue colour
    • Naturally Conditioned
    • New flavour profile for Coopers
    The style is still undecided - but it could be an IPA

    Sounds boring. I hope they hop it with heaps and heaps and heaps of Pride.

    Part of me hopes that Tim and the rest of the family put out a press release saying 'We've made the greatest beer ever, but we're keeping it to ourselves, it's our family's anniversary and none of you peasants are getting any.''

    Then they release a few bottles on ebay, sit around a computer and giggle as we all scramble to get some...

    Sounds lame. Sorry.

    Surely they would want something that you can actually age for their 150th. Here's hoping it's a Beetroot Kriek.

    would save my ebay money for something worthwhile..................................................Baller Stout.
    Great, we already get Midwestern hype. Now add in Victorian hype and now SA Hype. Brilliant.

    If it is really like that do not need to get some homeless people to line up for the release. Can save my money for the next BA Speedway release.:grinning:
