Friday’s ad is for Bass Ale, from 1920. Bass Ale was one of the beers that helped push me away from the regional lagers I grew up drinking in Eastern Pennsylvania, and toward more flavorful beers. Jazz clubs in New York City in the late 1970s frequently carried Bass, and I really liked how different it tasted, compared to what I was used to. In this ad, Bass is simply introducing a slogan that they’d use for the next several decades, “Great Stuff This Bass.”
