The Story of Bass Brewery

Bass Brewery is no longer an individual standstill but has been divided into many brands. Majorly acquired by ABInBev, Bass had become the largest brewery in the world by 1877. Its pale ale was imported throughout the British Empire and soon the iconic red triangle logo became the UK’s first registered trademark. In 1960, it merged with Charrington United Breweries and became the largest UK brewing company – Bass Charrington. While the brewing operations were controlled by ABInBev, the hospitality side was renamed as Six Continents plc. In today’s world, the brewing of Bass is done by Molson Coors while the rights still remain with ABInBev. Although ABInBev was trying to sell the rights for Bass for £10 million to £15 million, this event didn’t take place and Bass was relaunched in 2018.
