Description:William Bass founded the Bass Brewery in Burton-upon-Trent in 1777. By 1877 it was the world's largest brewery and its red triangle logo was known around the world. In the 1960s it merged with Charrington United Breweries to become Bass Charrington. In 2000 the company's brewing operations were acquired by Interbrew and then transferred to Molson Coors. Draught Bass has been brewed by Wolverhampton & Dudley Breweries at Burton's Marston's Brewery since 2005.
