Bass Red Triangle had been the same beer in different packaging, but was dropped when it came out that the two beers were identical. Bass was then only either keg or cask.<br /><br />The beer for the US market was totally different from UK versions.Ron Pattinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03095189986589865751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-30387392433768827912020-09-16T19:44:27.040-07:002020-09-16T19:44:27.040-07:00That's interesting about Bass, because for a l...That's interesting about Bass, because for a long time in the US the standard Bass Ale bottle was the only English beer you would see. I assumed that meant they successfully sold a ton of bottled beer back home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-29967610317600682422020-09-16T13:54:39.454-07:002020-09-16T13:54:39.454-07:00Anonymous,

They were never the same company after 1900.<br /><br />Guinness was so worried about being shut out if tied houses that it basically grassed up the major brewers to the competition authorities in the 1980s.Ron Pattinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03095189986589865751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-55127626875144887572020-09-13T10:57:32.294-07:002020-09-13T10:57:32.294-07:00It sounds like Guiness and Bass ultimately benefit...It sounds like Guiness and Bass ultimately benefitted from having so much business outside of tied pubs. <br /><br />As an American i'm not very familiar with British brewing -- did any brewers which were originally lopsidedly committed to the tied house model eventually make a successful move to doing a big chunk of their business to the market outside of tied pubs?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
