Bass Beer: Staid, Traditional, Boring..?

I've been having a clear-out. No missus. Not what you're thinking. Cheek.

Piles of clipped and torn articles, ads, items which caught my eye some years back, and which I finally forced myself to deal with. So I've been reviewing, second-guessing myself about why I kept stuff in the first place, and scanning items which still have an interest. Some of it is beery-related, so may well appear here.

First thing is Bass-related. Our Bloggers In The South-West, Boak & Bailey, report here on finding a pint of Bass in decent condition, but I'm not in that market.

Below is an ad for bottled Bass Ale in the US. I believe it's from the early Noughties...


A different take on 'traditional', I guess. If B&B are right, a good job it wasn't for cask Bass, or the boots might have been a tastier alternative...

Not the typical Bass advert I'd guess... but hey it was the Noughties and slight naughty (see what I did there).

I read the piece back to myself this AM and realised there was a play on words there. I'm glad there are like minds out there in the bloggoverse ;-)

Oh dear, that is atrocious. No wonder they're dead as a brand to the general public these days.

I wonder if it helped sales in the US?
