Thomas Cooper had a big family. With two wives and 19 children, who went on to have children and grandchildren of their own, his brewing secrets and recipes were passed down. It is not surprising then that today 5th and 6th generation Coopers oversee and work at the brewery. They are the custodians of all these family-brew secrets.

Luckily for beeristas one such secret is an Amber Ale recipe. Rich deep copper in colour, this mid bodied Ale has a biscuity malt palate balanced by toffee caramel sweetness and a nutty finish with citrus hop notes. And this secret is now here for grabs.

Recommended to be brewed with (23 L):

• 1 kg Coopers Light Dry Malt
• Coopers Carbonation Drops
