Draught Bass
Once Britain's best-selling premium cask ale, Draught Bass greets the nose with malt, fruit and a nutty note, then finishes bittersweet. The red triangle on its hand-pump badges is Britain's first registered trademark, and fans have marked Drink Bass Day every April to nudge pubs into stocking it.
