It is also the home of the world renowned Coopers Brewery. Started in 1864 by stone mason, Thomas Cooper, the Coopers Brewery is Australia’s only family owned and operated brewery, and is the world’s largest producer of products for homebrewers as well. According to Michael Jackson, in his seminal book The New World Guide to Beer, the joy in Coopers beers comes from their “heartiness and uncompromising honesty”. In his follow-up book, The Beer Companion, Mr. Jackson gives both the Coopers Sparkling Ale and Coopers Stout a five-star rating.

This allows them to power the brewery and malt extract facility without relying upon more heavily polluting coal or petroleum fired electricity utilities. And by using the latest in pollution control technology, they are able to run the brewery and malt extract facility with minimal environmental impact.
