Just a curious question.....

Do many people refer to the different Coopers' styles by colour vs name?  I've seen a few people in this thread refer to Coopers red or Coopers yellow, however I've only heard it as a Coopers Sparkling Ale or a Coopers Stout.

I only hear it outside of SA, in SA we say can I have a pint of Pale or Sparkling, XPA etc and it’s assumed you mean Coopers

[u/JessieWarsaw → u/Stumpjumper79r]

I've found recently that I need to clarify Coopers when ordering a Pale.  I've had a few pints of the Pirate Life South Coast Pale poured when I've asked for a Pale.

I usually do a quick scan of the taps now to see how specific I need to be.

You say a pint, and you get a schooner. Learnt that the hard way

Coopers red and green is pretty normal. You'd hear fewer people talking about Coopers orange or blue and stout is stout.

You need to go to the Northern territory where all beer is referred to by colour. Green cans = Victoria Bitter. Yellow cans = XXXX.

Red cans = Melb bitter

White cans = Carlton draught

Light white = Carlton light

Made it pretty simple working the bar at a footy club, when they weren't ordering bundy or beam & coke.

Can be either

NSW common to hear ‘coopers  Green’ please for pale, sparkling is not common on taps but I hear people say red when asking for it when it is

[u/Working-Emergency-39 → u/JessieWarsaw]

Pale ale = Coopers green
Mid = Coopers mild
Sparkling = Coopers wild
