A Thought on Bass Ale
Discussion
I was resting in my patio hammock last evening while slow cooking a London Broil on my grill drinking too many Bass Pale Ales. I finally took a moment and read the labels. It pointed out that this drink is not only a favorite of the "Drinking Classes", but of of the "Great and Good from Napolean to Buffalo Bill". I chuckled a bit at "Drinking Classes", as if anyone of higher breeding/station drinks in a very different manner.

Im a fan of darker ruby ales normally, but I do like various others as well as copious amounts of cider when in the mood.

IPA was originally a draught beer (India (or Imperial) Pale ale, with a long secondary fermentation to survive the boat trip. Generic now for lighter beers.
Marstons is usually good, try Shepherd Neame or Moreland. Or try a few
You could try some Belgian beers, head banging stuff.

the last few years I've tended to avoid all Bass beers because:
-I've no idea who owns them. Is it the canadians? The Belgians??
-Its always been alongside John Smiths "bitter"- that horrible creamy nonsense served from brass T-pieces. Cold, with a head but no taste
Can you still get some real ale Bass??

Bass Pale Ale
Being on the wrong side of the pond, you've probably not heard of the medicinal qualities of Bass Pale Ale...As the ad used to say...
Has the bottom fallen out of your world..?
Drink Bass Pale Ale...
And watch the world fall out of your bottom..

Any Fullers ales ?
Gotta be ESB! I had a drop of White Shield the other evening, wasn't bad at all for a bottle conditioned brew i thought
Kelham Island Pale Rider is a particularly cracking example of the pale ale style IMO

Marstons are contract brewing cask Bass at the moment. The previous mega brewery conglomerate who owned the name before have shipped Bass and all their other cask brands off to other regional breweries, not sure why... -I've no idea who owns them. Is it the canadians? The Belgians??

One of my local pubs had Bass on as a guess not too long ago, the taste strangely reminded me of marzipan....
Some say that the beer hasn't tasted right for years though (I regularly hear the same argument brought up in reference to GK Abbot and all Courage beers too) Think it was Roger Protz who even concurred saying it was once the "Rolls Royce of the brewing world reduced to an Allegro not firing on all cylinders" IIRC!
