沉澱澳洲回憶的庫珀啤酒 My wife’s Aussie memories in Coopers Ale

台灣超市酒架上，庫珀啤酒吃點虧，老式、傳統的酒標與玻璃瓶，擺在如今前後左右都是酒標經過精心打造的精釀啤酒群中，很難突出，但有150年釀造歷史的庫珀啤酒，對澳洲人或曾在澳洲留學的人來說，像是台灣啤酒在台灣人心中的地位。

It seems to me that the label of Coopers Ale is really old-fashioned design. It’s definitely a shortcoming on Taiwanese supermarket shelves there it would be surrounded by all fancy label beers.

Actually, Coopers Ale is a very old brewery with superior quality since 1862 in Australia.

曾在澳洲讀電影製作的老婆，說這幾乎是她澳洲留學時期唯一喝過的啤酒品牌，而帶點淡苦、倒在杯子裡不那麼透明的茶色的庫珀原味啤酒，她認為口味上非常適配澳洲品質優越的牛、羊肉料理。

My wife recalled that Coopers Ale was the only brand beer she had in her days of studying film production in Australia.

And she also told me that Coopers Pale Ale with deep golden color and light bitter would be the perfect match for Aussie meat dishes.The alc/vol of Coopers Pale Ale is 4.5%.

陪老婆重溫澳洲酒吧歲月，我們也一起喝了庫珀淡啤酒，中文譯名為淡啤酒，酒精濃度其實高於庫珀原味啤酒，麥味更濃郁，倒在玻璃杯裡可以看到更不透明的茶色，這個顯然更適合像澳洲肉派這樣的濃郁料理，能解膩平衡味覺。

For old time sake, we had another Coopers Sparkling Ale. This one’s alc/vol is 5.8% with rich malt aroma. My wife said that’s great companion for Aussie Meat Pie to balance the rich flavor of meat.

老婆微醺回憶說：「這就是每天下課後走進酒吧，就看到幾個高大澳洲人拿著的啤酒啊。」。

And my wife reached a conclusion after two beers. “That’s the beer flavor could remind a couple of tall Aussies sitting around the bar with Coopers Ale in their hands after works.”.
