I worked in a Bass pub a few years back, when the became Six Continents (and went belly up I think). One of those corporate machinations that turns all of the history and grandeur of an institution into an insidious faceless conglomerate with all the appeal of spending a night with Tony Blair. Still I enjoy a pint of Bass and I say fuck you to Six Continents every time.

I think I ended up on 6, plus a shandy Bass. I was woken with indigestion at an early hour and there was definitely a looming, rather than piercing hangover. My concentration was low all day and so was my motivation, but I think that’s the day of the week more than anything else.

Also agree on the energy: on leaving the pub I walked briskly and happily from Goodge St to Charing Cross - not an enormous walk but I don’t think I’d have bothered without beer legs.

I think that’s quite a reasonable description of bass drunk although thanks to the generosity of my friends i certainly had more than four…

Yeah, I thought Bass was still fairly prevalent. Most recent sighting: about a month ago in Chipping Norton (although of course I always drink Hooky there).

Have you really not seen it on tap for 10 years ? I don’t see it as often as I would like, but I guess I still see it around every few months or so.

Having said that, I couldn’t tell you what the last of those places was (possibly the Dovetail in Broadway Market)

i was also in a fantastic mood! Although I attribute this to imminent holiday + good folks rather than the beer which was too velvety for me. Not enough BITE.
