Coopers Beer Kits Review — The World's Most Popular Home Brew Brand

Coopers Beer Kits — Are They Worth It?

Coopers is without doubt the world's most recognisable home brew beer kit brand, and for good reason. Since 1862, the Coopers family has been crafting beer in South Australia, and their DIY beer kit range brings that same brewing heritage directly to UK home brewers. But are they really as good as their reputation suggests? This review covers the complete Coopers range available at BrewCo UK.

Coopers DIY Range

The core Coopers DIY range is the entry point — straightforward tin kits producing 40 pints each using Coopers' proprietary hop extract and quality malt. Highlights include the Coopers DIY Stout — deep, roasted, and enduringly popular; the Coopers DIY Real Ale, a bright golden real ale with genuine character; and the ever-popular European Lager, which produces a clean, crisp lager at a very accessible price. At £13.99 per kit producing 40 pints, these represent exceptional value and consistently deliver reliable, flavoursome results.

Thomas Coopers Selection

For a significant step up, the Thomas Coopers Selection uses higher-quality ingredients and more complex recipes to produce genuinely premium results. The Brew A IPA is one of the UK's most popular premium kit beers, producing a bold, well-hopped IPA with genuine craft character. The Bootmaker Pale Ale and Preacher's Hefe Wheat are also outstanding choices for home brewers wanting a more premium result.
