Its shares are primarily owned by the extended Cooper family, and the company's constitution makes it difficult to sell shares outside the family. The brewery was established by Thomas Cooper in 1862 at his home in Norwood then in 1881 relocated to larger, commercial facilities at Leabrook in Adelaide, South Australia, and in 2001 moved to Regency Park.

Beer is the world's oldest and most widely consumed Alcoholic beverage and the third most popular drink overall after water and tea It is also well established as a producer of home brew supplies.
Cooper's beers are widely available on tap in South Australia, and in some bars in the rest of Australia as specialty beers. It is widely available bottled around Australia and occasionally at specialist importers in other countries.
Coopers' bottled beers are characterised by their secondary fermentation technique - some yeast remains in the bottle after bottling - thus the bottled beer contains some sediment. There are two schools of thought with regards to the sediment - some drinkers like to mix the sediment throughout the beer by tipping or rolling the beer before drinking, while others prefer to decant the beer into a glass leaving (most of) the sediment at the base of the bottle.
In late 2005, Lion Nathan made an unsolicited takeover bid for Coopers, which was strongly opposed by Coopers' management, and ultimately rejected at an Extraordinary General Meeting when 93. Lion Nathan is a publicly listed Japanese-controlled Australasian alcoholic beverages company with operations in Australia and New Zealand 4% of the shareholders voted in favour of permanently removing the 3rd tier purchasing rights of Lion Nathan, effectively preventing any current or future takeover bid.
