Haha...yeah I was feeling pretty good when I started this thread.
When I woke up, I looked in the fridge and I only had 3 left.

I'm disappointed, I thought you went on a spree murdering some 4-stringers or fish...
Bass is pretty nice, though. I prefer ale to lager, that's for sure.
-
like a nice pint o smithwicks myself, but bass is a decent substitute!
and yeah, i thought he was gonna wipe out some four stringers as well :twisted:

^ :twisted: :lol:

Buwahahaha!!!
Bass players are already hard to find...don't want to start killing them off!
Usually, I'll grab some New Castle but I tried Bass last week and really liked it.
The best New Castle I had was a couple of weeks ago in New Orleans. We stopped at an International Bar and Grill and I had New Castle on tap.
I'm new at drinking ale but is it in my head that it taste better in a mug than straight out of the bottle?
-
My favourite ales are still Hobgoblin and Old Peculier. Newcastle isnt bad though, I guess its more refreshing because its meant to be drank chilled according to the label :)

What bass is it in your area? I once had a summer job packing up bottles of bass pale ale for export. The bass that is on pumps round most of the uk is a different thing.
I am from burton-on-trent, so the bass you drank the other night probably would have been brewed down the road from my house.
I can also recommend a fine pint of Marstons Pedigree - although there is a catch. . . it doesnt travel very well so tastes bad if it goes far from burton - and even a lot of the burton pubs are taking less care with the barrels and ruining the taste. With it being brewed in wood it needs a carefull touch and a good settling period before its ready.
Other non- burton favorites include kimberly 'classic' straight from the barrel and timothy taylor 'landlord'
I did used to drink a lot of bottles of dog (newcastle brown ale) when i was 14-16 sneaking into rock clubs - i still have the odd bottle to remind me of those days

I was drinking Bass Pale Ale.
Ahhhh, the good old days of sneaking into bars!

Wes, interesting stuff. Bass is the only British beer that I can buy in supermarkets here (Quite a shame as I am quite the real ale fiend)
and the one thing I really notice is that it seems sweetened compared to Bass back at home, the same goes for when I find it on tap.
Pedigree is good but yes a good pint is the exception rather than the rule. Much like Timothy Taylor Landlord which I always enjoyed but never understood the fuss about it until I stayed at an inn (yes, a real inn!) in Haworth, a stones throw from Keighley where it's brewed and the beer there was truly incredible, better than any wine or whisky that I have ever enjoyed. Amazing.

Bass?
I'll pass! PDT_008

Bass and Smithwicks are the first beers I drink (oh so many years ago)
whats Bass ? well it's pronounced in the same manner as the fish, and can be purchased from here http://www.realbeerbox.com/pyo.aspx
Like Tom (good choice sir) I prefer Theakstons Old Peculiar (to be found here http://www.theakstons.co.uk/landing.php), though Bishops Finger (and Bananna Bread http://www.charleswells.co.uk/home/brands/ales) are pretty OK when the mood takes me.
For some reason I think Dog (Newcastle Brown dosn't travel too well, though it may be to do with having so much fun when I used to visit Newcastle).
Though it hurts me to say it I think Guinness is awful these days, though the Nigerian brewed Guinness is pretty damned good when you can find it.
My ultimate quest is to find a reliable source of some of those darker Frence and Beglian beers in the UK though

I thought it might be - i am not sure they even sold that one in the UK at the time, not sure if they do now to be honest. I spent most of that summer adding little messages to the boxes because we knew they were all for export. It was quite an anoying thing to pack because all the crates had come from the top of the warehouse and had got very warm - the thing i remember most about the pale ale is that the bottles would shatter if you looked at them funny, especially with the heat so i quite often went home stinking of the stuff mixed with the sweat of working in a tin can warehouse during the warmest days of summer.
Luckily a fork lift truck decided to place a whole pallet of carling on my foot at the end of the second week so that got me out of having to work over summer... it was only a job to get extra cash for uni anyway and i was glad to spend the summer drinking beer rather than packing beer. . . and nothing really broke in my foot it was just swollen for a few weeks and sore for a few months - a pretty lucky escape all round.
Should really mention speckled hen as one of my top beers but it really has to be on draft rather than in a bottle . . . and god forbid - never in a can!!.
I do like old peculiar as well, but thats my mums drink of choice

i actually changed to smithwicks because i thought bass had gotten too sweet! thought it was just me, but maybe it has changed. they are all rotten out of cans though, and just about bearable in a bottle, if you've already had a few! and never ever ever buy a pint of ANYTHING in a nightclub or flashy disco bar. even water.
-
they might have changed the bass recipe slightly when coors brought it out a few years back.
My town used to be covered in the bass red triangles, we had a bass museum and everything. Now the coors logo is everywhere, the museum is called the coors museum of brewing - kinda like a bit of out local heritage has been destroyed!! I have no problem with the fact coors own bass - just the fact they decided to remove all traces of the bass heritage from our town. They are still producing the stuff and own the logo so didnt have to remove all of them.
Rant over

You can get Leffe blonde and brown in Tescos and Co-Op :P Didnt like the blonde one, but brown was really nice.
