Coopers Club night

Last Thursday, saw the Coopers Club annual get together at The Local Taphouse. There was comedy, live music, Glenn Cooper, a big crowd and the entire Coopers range on tap.

I was in Sydney unfortunately but am hoping to get some photos of the night to post.

Thanks to all who joined in the fun.

Glenn Cooper replaces Dr Tim Cooper for Coopers Club night

Unfortunately, Dr Tim Cooper is unable to attend the Coopers Club night on Dec 11th but Glenn Cooper can. It should be a good night as we will have the entire Coopers range on tap (including Vintage) and there will also be live music and comedy. Entry is free and Coopers Club members get discounted drinks..

See ya then.

Coopers Club night confirmed for December!

We're VERY excited to announce that the Coopers Club are having their annual get-together @ The Local Taphouse on December 11th. Everyone is welcome and we'll be blessed by the presence of Dr Tim Cooper, Brewmaster at Coopers.

More news as it comes to hand...
