About the Brewery
Bass Brewery was founded in 1777 by William Bass in Burton-upon-Trent, a town whose mineral-rich water made it the epicentre of English Pale Ale brewing. The brewery’s dedication to quality and consistency quickly earned Bass international acclaim, and its distinctive red triangle became a global symbol of excellence.
Today, Bass continues to represent the best of traditional British brewing. Brewed with English two-row barley and a blend of Fuggle and Goldings hops, it retains its classic recipe and smooth drinkability. The PerfectDraft Keg format allows fans across Ireland to enjoy this iconic ale freshly poured at home, maintaining its authentic character and flavour.
Food Pairings
Bass Pale Ale pairs beautifully with roasted meats, sausages, and classic British dishes such as shepherd’s pie or steak and ale pie. Its malt sweetness complements aged cheddar and savoury pastries, while its gentle bitterness cuts through fried foods like fish and chips. It’s also a perfect companion for Sunday roasts or a simple ploughman’s lunch.
