Okay, I admit it. I had a beer at lunch. Just one, and it was mediocre. What has happened to Bass Ale? Has my beer taste become more sophisticated or has Bass gone into the toilet? The worst part of this sordid mess is that I had the beer with an excellent bar pizza from Kinchley’s Tavern. Great crispy thin crust pizza, and my wife’s tuna melt wasn’t bad either. Maybe I had a bad bottle, but I have had the impression that Bass just ain’t what it used to be for some time. It’s better on tap, but only from fresh kegs. I think the beer world has moved beyond Bass Ale.
