Coopers Brewery Limited, the largest Australian-owned brewery, is based in the Adelaide suburb of Regency Park. Coopers is known for making a variety of beers, the most famous of which are its pale ale and sparkling ale. It is also the world's largest producer of homebrewing beer concentrate in cans. Cooper's also manufactures DIY kits, reusable plastic bottles, and boxed brew enhancers. Its shares are primarily owned by the extended Cooper family. The brewery has been headed by Tim Cooper (originator of Dr Tim's Traditional Ale) as managing director since 1990, with Michael Shearer taking over the role from 1 March 2025. Melanie Cooper has been chair of the board since December 2023.
The brewery was established by Thomas Cooper in 1862 in the eastern Adelaide suburb of Norwood, moving in 1881 to Leabrook, also in the eastern suburbs, and then in 2001 to northern Adelaide at Regency Park.
