This week I meet Louise Cooper, Strategic Development Manager at Coopers Brewery as Coopers prepares to celebrate 160 years of brewing.\n\nOf course, with a name like that Louise is not just the Strategic Development Manager she is also daughter of Coopers Managing Director Dr Tim Cooper and a member of the sixth generation of the Coopers family to have a role in the brewery.\n\nIn her role, Louise has taken a lead in managing Coopers\u2019 recently announced $50 million visitor centre, microbrewery and whisky distillery at its Regency Park site.\n\nHaving spoken with Dr Tim Cooper many times, this was a special conversation for me, and I was looking forward to the chance to hear from Louise about her introduction to the family business and her approach to carrying such a venerable family name. We talk about the different experiences that succeeding generations bring to a family business, and the unique challenges each faces. You\u2019ll hear about the new visitor centre means to the business and also whether making whisky is sticking to Coopers' knitting.\n\nIt\u2019s a great chat, hopefully one of many as the next generation of Coopers comes to guide the business.\n\nOur partners\n\n\nHPA \u2013 Learn how HPA are contributing to a sustainable future of quality beer by watching their virtual hop harvest.\n\n\nBrewstaff - Brewstaff partners with some of Australia's favourite craft breweries & distilleries to find the best talent the industry has to offer.\n\n\nIf you like what we do at Radio Brews News you can help us out by:\n\nSponsoring the show\n\nReviewing us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or your favourite podcasting service\n\nEmailing us at producer@brewsnews.com.au to share your thoughts
