Bass
|
|
One of the largest brewers in the UK. The original brewery was founded by William Bass in Burton-upon-Trent in 1777. In the 19C the company developed a thriving export trade with its India Pale Ale; there are even two bottles on the bar of the Folies Bergère (right foreground) in Manet's famous painting. The Bass red triangle was the first trademark to be registered, in 1875.
