I've recently returned to Bass after having an outstanding pint of in a solid East Mids Bass pub, and realised the only reason it fell out of my favour was a combination of it becoming a dominant national brand at one time, with consequent loss of quality at POS, and the method of serve. I've never liked Bass served in the southern style, and the ultimate heresy, the 'Derby' serve, straight from the barrel, into an aluminium jug, thence to glass. I like it with a northern head Ta.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15595039296072668714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-55812796176981595962015-06-17T14:49:53.812+01:002015-06-17T14:49:53.812+01:00All this love for Draught Bass does make one wonde...All this love for Draught Bass does make one wonder why the brand owner has let it fade into obscurity cf.
