Coop Beer

As it turns out, the supermarket chain Coop sells a few beers that you won't find anywhere else, so I thought I'd give them a post here.

Interestingly, we see here an example of something I alluded to earlier: While Prix Garantie Coop is cheaper than Tell (0.60 CHF vs. 0.90 CHF per 0.5 L can) the former actually has a lot more taste than the latter. In fact, while Tell was a disappointment, Prix Garantie Coop was better than I expected - nothing fantastic, but certainly decent at the price.


The most interesting of the pack however is the Bio Bier - an organic beer made for Coop by Brauerei K. Locher in Appenzell, Switzerland. The can says it is unfiltered and the beer is slightly hazy (although nothing like a good hefeweizen). And at 1.50 CHF for a 0.5 L can you can't even fault it for being more expensive than other (non-organic) beers of similar quality.
