Parade day is upon us! ☘️ 🇨🇮! And as any good Scrantonian, we will be celebrating by drinking Guinness, Smithwicks, and harp! But if you become tired of those tried & true classics, we’ll be serving up something special in the hallway at Cooper’s!

Two cask conditioned ales, fresh as can be, one served through a hand pump. One traditional low-ABV cask ale that is light, sharp and full flavored and another beer we think is going to taste delightful as a cask ale, our altbier. An altbier is similar to an Irish red ale but with less sweetness making it a little lighter on the palette for those Scranton-parade-day kind of days.

Come down on Saturday afternoon in the long hallway at Cooper’s and get a fresh pint while supplies last! Guinness will be there tomorrow, this won’t be!

We know the Irish are coming but we just love English beer too much! Our hand pump is pumping out some delicious English IPA.

King Edward’s English IPA
English IPA/ ESB 6.0% ABV, 50 IBUs

If Edward the Octopus sitting on top of the building doesn’t qualify as the king of this establishment, then we don’t know who does… This IPA isn’t like an American IPA but is very similar to many examples of ESBs with a little extra alcohol & hop character. Brewed with English pearl malt and Fuggles hops for a spicy, earthy quality. Traditionally served on the hand pump to create a creamy head while keeping the carbonation low. This reduces the sharpness of the hops and allows the malt to come forward. The original session IPA!

When brewing a beer that highlights one of the great members of our family, first you start with a style that sounds good with their name; then you choose a recipe that has the characteristics to help describe their great qualities! Pat Pisko could’ve had Pat’s Pale Ale or Pisko’s Pilsner but those beers just don’t represent Pat!

Pisko’s Porter
American Robust Porter, 6.0 %ABV, 41 IBUs

When one has such a big and heartwarming personality, it inspires a beer with equally as much character. An American robust porter with a smooth & complex roast flavor and a rounded malt profile. Dark and welcoming. Let this one warm up in your glass to truly experience the full complexity.

When three love affairs meet, something unlike anything is created. Our brewer loves brewing different forms of smoked and wheat beers so he combined them! And this is one of our favorites so far.

Rebecca the Smoking Wheat
Smoked Hefeweizen, 5.9% ABV, 22 IBUs

Part hefeweizen, part smoked beer, and 100% love. This German wheat beer, also known as Rauchweizen, is a smoked hefeweizen. The classic banana & clove flavors and light profile are balanced with a hint of smoke and caramel malts. The sweetness softens the astringency of the smoke that makes for a smoked beer that you won’t only want one of!

Our goal has been to make a smoked beer that the average drinker will enjoy and I think we’re getting close! We love them so we want everyone to love them!

We’ve got something special this Friday (2/24)! We are cask conditioning our Irish golden ale and cream ale for firkin Friday. The event will help raise money for the Scranton Saint Patrick’s Day Parade Committee and all sales from these two cask will go directly to helping this organization!

What is cask-conditioned beer? It’s fresh beer that is transferred to a sealed cask where it undergoes a secondary fermentation and clarification. If you have heard of the bottle conditioned beer popular with Belgian breweries, this is a similar concept. Naturally produced CO2 carbonates the beer at a moderate level and the beer is served at cellar temperature to allow for these beers to showcase their malt and hop profiles unlike a brite tank conditioned beer would. Once tapped (with a giant mallet) at the time of the event, they are best enjoyed that night because the beer is manually dispensed out of a spigot.

Properly conditioned and fresh cask beer is a true joy of the beer world and if you’ve never tried it, come down and have a pint! If you’re uncertain and think you just don’t like beer from cask, maybe we can change your mind!
