Quite a few people serve it that way. Could be due to this, direct from the Coopers website:When I first got to Adelaide a few years back, it only seemed right to drink Coopers Pale Ale. One of the first bars I went into 'rolled' a bottle of pale along the bar straight out of the fridge & poured it - I was 'a bit suprised' and there was a loooong pause while I took a breath and then asked him wtf he thought he was doing, and he told me "it's normal and everyone does it, that's how it's poured here......".......
I didn't order a Coopers beers again for nearly a year..... these days I don't mind one every now and again if I run dry in the fridge.
I spent many years working behind bars, and I had never seen someone deliberately stir a bottle conditioned beer up before. Doesn't seem logical to me to go to the trouble of allowing it to settle out and then mess it all up again. Do some stirring of your own & send that picture to Coopers suggesting that some 'point of sale retraining' might be in order.......
Naturally fermented in the 'Burton-on-Trent' style, a secondary fermentation creates the trademark sediment that gives 'Pale' its fine cloudy appearance. This cloudy residue can be stirred through the beer by tipping or rolling the bottle before drinking.
