Coopers Brewery is still family owned and operated. This is a point of pride for us, as it sets us apart from many other breweries in Australia and around the world. Being family owned means that we have a deep connection to our history, our community, and our values, which are reflected in every aspect of our business.
Coopers Brewery was established in 1862 by Thomas Cooper, and it has remained in the Cooper family ever since. This makes us Australia's oldest family owned and operated brewery, and we are incredibly proud of this heritage. The fact that we have been able to preserve our family ownership for over 150 years is a testament to our commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
Being a family owned brewery means that we have the freedom to make decisions based on what we believe is best for our beer and our customers, rather than being driven solely by profit margins. This allows us to maintain our commitment to brewing traditional, handcrafted beers using only the finest ingredients. We take pride in our ability to create beers that are rich in flavor and true to their style, and being family owned allows us to continue this tradition.
One of the benefits of being family owned is that we can maintain a long-term perspective. We are not beholden to shareholders or investors who may prioritize short-term gains over the long-term success and sustainability of the brewery. This means that we can make decisions that are in the best interest of the brewery and our customers, rather than being driven by quarterly financial targets.
Another advantage of being family owned is that it allows us to maintain a strong connection to our local community. We are deeply embedded in the South Australian community, and we take our responsibility as a local business seriously. We support local charities, events, and initiatives, and we strive to give back to the community that has supported us for generations.
Being family owned also means that we can maintain a personal touch in everything we do. When you visit the brewery, you are likely to interact with a Cooper family member or someone who has been with the brewery for many years. This personal connection is something that sets us apart from larger, corporate-owned breweries. We take the time to talk to our customers, answer their questions, and share our passion for brewing great beer.
Coopers Brewery is still family owned and operated, and we are proud to carry on the tradition that Thomas Cooper started over 150 years ago. Our family ownership allows us to maintain our commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and community, and it sets us apart as Australia's oldest family owned brewery. We believe that being family owned is a key part of what makes us unique and allows us to continue brewing exceptional beers for generations to come.
