IMPROVE YOUR HOME. MAKE BEER IN IT.

The request, “A couple of pints of bitter thanks mate.” will draw different outcomes, depending on whether it be aired across a bar in the UK or Australia. A glass of Bitter served up in the UK is likely to contain a copper brown coloured ale, at a temperature of about 11°C, low in fizz with not much (if any) foam. It will probably display some malt and fruit aromas with anything from subtle to overt hop character. The taste should comprise various malt flavours filling the palate with a firm bitter finish. While a glass of Bitter in Australia will most likely contain a very light coloured lager, high in fizz with at least 1cm of foam and refreshingly cold (about 1°C, Brrrrrr!). It should display subtle aromas (subdued by the low temperature), a light to medium taste on the palate with soft malt characters and a clean, moderately bitter finish. The differences between these two styles of bitter are significant enough to shock the patron expecting one but getting the other, “C’mon mate, I asked for bitter. What do you call this @#*%?!” Therefore, when home brewers contact us regarding Coopers Bitter we clarify whether they mean our International Series English Bitter (follows the UK style of bitter) or our Thomas Coopers Australian Bitter (developed to capture the characteristics of popular Australian bitters). One would think the image of a glass of beer on our International Series English Bitter would go a long way to avoiding confusion. Well, it does, 99.9% of the time! Apart from the issue of mistaken identity, both products make excellent beer true to intended style. So don’t be “bitter and twisted”, try them both.
