What’s Brewing at Cooper’s Restaurant?

TCooper’s Family Brewing

Cooper’s Family Brewing is a nanobrewery within the basement of

Cooper’s Seafood House.

The Brewery crafts a rotating selection of different beer types and serves them through the seafood restaurant’s tap system. The beers are only available on draft within the restaurant due to the size of the current operation. The small size of the brewery ensures that all beers served will be to the utmost freshness one can drink. Currently Jesse Cooper (3rd Generation) is the brewmaster and has gone from brewing at home to brewing in the restaurant. He graduated college with a biochemistry degree and worked in the field of protein sciences for several years until he decided to come home to Scranton where he slowly developed plans to open a brewery at Cooper’s. Jesse takes a very scientific approach to brewing and loves experimenting with different brewing techniques. He is passionate about traditional beer styles and trying to do them well. He believes that perfecting the basics of traditional brewing is first step before creating new and exciting craft styles consistently. All his recipes are original! The brewery was constructed by transforming an old boiler room which used to generate all the steam for Cooper’s kitchen. The brewery room is situated directly below the kitchen and has been remodeled to offer a clean environment suited for brewing. Because of the location, public tours are not currently available. Be sure to come to Cooper’s and try the new exciting beers brewed in Scranton for Scranton! H
