Coop Ale Works

The following are just a couple of articles that illustrate some of the finer points as to why we choose to put our beer in cans:

A can is a essentially a mini keg! We believe that at a restaurant or bar the best way for you to receive our beer is out of a keg.  However, in the absence of a keg we believe that THE CAN is the best vessel to keep our beer fresh and crisp for your drinking pleasure.

Remember drink responsibly…. pour it in a glass!

Team COOP

It’s been a busy week here at COOP Ale Works.  Monday and Tuesday were brew days.  We brewed Zeppelin German Wheat.  I find this beer to be the most difficult in the lineup to brew.  The rye and wheat seem to fight me all the way to spent grain removal.  The rest of the week involved keg cleaning, keg filling, and the best part, sending beer out to its new home.  Today we will head up to Rob’s World of Beer in Wichita.  I’ll be looking for local KS beers, Jolly Pumkin, and Cantillon.  I think we will also visit Hank.  Keep in mind that we are beer geeks before we are brewers.  I’ll end this post with a cool find down in Norman yesterday - Progress Beer.
