Beer Radar for TWTW May 2012<\/p>\n
By John Kr\u00fcger<\/p>\n
A celebration tale<\/p>\n
Coopers<\/strong> has just released a new ale. This happens less often than the Wiggles change\u00a0 members, so it\u2019s a big deal. Coopers are celebrating brewing beers for 150 years so they\u2019ve introduced a tasty new beer for our pleasure. It\u2019s actually not the easiest beer to describe. It\u2019s a reddish brown ale with a bit more of a nudge with hops than you\u2019d usually be used to in a Coopers. It\u2019s still very Coopers, obviously. They\u2019re not celebrating hops, they\u2019re celebrating 150 years of brewing. It\u2019s only coming out in 355ml stubbies but you can\u2019t miss the flashy packaging. I\u2019d like to try more to be honest. I drank three stubbies in different parts of the house and am still wondering if I like it or love it. This project needs more research.<\/p>\n Update:<\/p>\n I mentioned Cascade<\/strong> First Harvest in TWTW a while back and promised to update. It\u2019s brewed and in the bottle shops. New head brewer Mike Unsworth has taken over from Max Burslem after Max had been brewing Cascade beers for 40 years. Now there\u2019s a bloke who deserves medal. Mike\u2019s 2012 First Harvest is pretty spicy and green. Quite resiny but not with the usual musk and Juicyfruit that American hoppy beers have. Well worth a go.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Beer Radar for TWTW May 2012 By John Kr\u00fcger A celebration tale Coopers has just released a new ale.
