THIS JOURNEY IS NOW COMPLETE! This was a challenge I undertook from Feb 2011 to Feb 2012. Thanks to everyone that kept me going! Feel free to read through and comment, I am now also periodically adding reviews here as I sample other beers that I did not come across during the challenge.

Coopers Sparkling Ale
This is another one of those beers that you hear people say is their 'favourite beer'. This time though,
I would say it's justified. Given that it's a relatively mainstream beer nowadays, Coopers Sparkling Ale
is a top notch beer.
More expensive than a standard big brewery beer, but cheaper than a boutique microbrewery batch... Coopers Sparkling Ale is the much needed middle man. Like that rare band that attracts a huge audience without selling it's soul. I've probably neglected this beer a bit lately, I probably havent' had one for at
least a year maybe two.
It has the attributes of a micro, all the ingredients are natural and it's bottle fermented... it just hasn't
done anything outrageous. And really, that's fine, because it fills a spot in the market that is much needed.
An easily accesible, natural, full flavoured ale.
On top of that, it has an elevated alcohol content which is barely noticeable.
8.5/10
