Bass 'can' be a very good pint even here in the UK, the problem is that Bass
owned pubs have a reputation for poor standards and lack of staff training
- this unfortunately has it's toll on the the beer. It is very difficult to
get a good pint of OSH over here in the UK as well. It is usually much
better out of the bottle because at least then it can't be spoilt by some 18
year old Hooch drinking pub manager who doesn't give a damn about his work
or beer. Morlands business attitude is a little dodgy as the moment as well
since their take-over of Ruddles Brewery (another closure looms).

Living in Canada did expose me to Guiness and Harp, but I found them a
bit to strong flavoured. The Bass is nice, ever have my Coors Light
drinking GF drinking it.
