I tried my first Coopers on the weekend and was hooked. It now replaces Hoegartten as my favorite beer. I tried Victoria Bitter as well, but I liked Coopers better. I think it was the bitter taste that I loved. Anyway Good on ya mate

Which Coopers? Pale, Sparkling, or Stout? They are the only ones I've ever seen abroad.

Big fan of the sparkling off a tap... cold, frosty glass... summer afternoon... beer garden...

Nice to see you speading the word. At 7000 won a stubbie in a bar I have yet to try one in Korea. But like #2 said a frosty pint of sparlkling ale in a beer garden on a hot summers arvo is hard to beat.

Yes, those stubbies for 7,000 won are dam good up in Itaewon, but it gets expensive. I only did this on vacation as I've never lived up in Seoul. I think Australia and Australian people are the coolest. Pretty cool if you ask me. Go to that one place in Itaewon slightly off the strip that is in a tiny corner store front. It's up a hill on the right side past the military memorabilia shops selling antique diving helmets out front.

Stout and Pale are a dead heat for me, but I prefer the former when it is cooler and the latter in the heat. I'm even game enough to say that I think Coopers Stout is a more flavoursome beer than Guiness, but that's just my opinion.

I think I, like most Americans, pretty much have nothing but positive feelings towards Australians.

That's because Australia rocks just like the U.S.A. rocks.

Yip, pretty nice although expensive. Hard to look past Tasmanian beers though.

Tried Coopers at Aussie Shop and I think it was only 5,000 won a pint. Think it was stout, anyway it was bitter than VB. By the way, Fosters sucks

Coopers Pale Ale might well be my favourite beer in the entire world. I inhaled that stuff when I was in Australia.

Not sure about all the Aussie loving tho. Bit arrogant for my taste. Always have something to say about everything. "Naaaaaaaaah mate, ye down't wanne do that. What ye wanne do is...."
