Coopers Brewery defies the struggling Australian beer market
Australia | A new lager beer release plus a surge in homebrewing kits fuelled strong sales growth for Australia’s largest independently-owned brewer Coopers. It posted a 1.5 percent rise in total beer sales for the 2024 financial year (ended 30 June), defying a year-on-year 2.6 percent decline in total Australian beer sales. Coopers’ beer sales, excluding non-alcoholic beers, hit 787 000 hl, up from 776 000 hl the previous year.
