History - Printon error
"Prior to establishing a brewery, William Bass transported ale for brewer Benjamin Printon."

Although this is a claim repeatedly made, Bass couldn't have been transporting ale for Printon because Printon had died in 1729, when Bass was only 12. Printon's brewery was run by the Musgrave family from 1729 to 1803 - see here Zythophile (talk) 02:47, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

Canned?
Bass Ale is a top ten premium canned ale in the UK, with 16,080 hectolitres sold in 2010.[10]

That was then: what is the position today?

 * brand's defunct for now. UK brewery rights are still belonging to Molson Coors. US had plans to be created with inbev but never transpired, so any future product would belong to Molson Coors. Sucker for All (talk) 12:51, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

Red bass and blue label bass
my father drank two types of bass in the 1950s. One had yeast making it murky and the other was clear. I think it had something to do with the label, blue or red? Anyone know the history? Regards Stewart Stewart from Goole (talk) 07:15, 24 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Well one was "pasteurised" so heat treated to kill the yeast, and then the fizz is added artificially. The other was what today might be called "Real Ale in a Bottle". So as the beer is bottled a small quantity of sugar is added and this ferments to create the fizz. This results in a small quantity yeast, which should settle to the bottom of the bottle. When pouring you should pour carefully and leave the yeast in the bottle, so it should not be cloudy in the glass.

Tense?
Surely BASS "was" a Brewer and whilst Bass Beer is still available, it is, as the article says simply a brand of AB-InBev, brewed by Carlsberg Marston. G4ugm (talk) 09:42, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
