William Bass (b. 1720), was originally a See also:carrier, one of his See also:chief clients being See also:Benjamin Printon, a See also:Burton-on-See also:Trent See also:brewer. By 1777 Bass had saved a little See also:money, and seeing the growing demand for Burton See also:beer he started as a brewer himself. The See also:principal See also:market for Burton beer at that See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time was in St See also:Petersburg, whither the beer could be sent by See also:water See also:direct from Burton via the Trent and See also:Hull, and William Bass managed to secure a tolerable See also:share of the large See also:Russian orders. But in 1822 the Russian See also:government placed a prohibitory See also:duty on Burton See also:ales, and the Burton brewers were forced into cultivating the See also:home market. William Bass opened up a connexion with See also:London, and established a fairly profitable home See also:trade. A misunderstanding between the See also:East See also:India See also:Company and the London brewers who were the proprietors of See also:Hodgson's India
See also:Pale See also:Ale, at that time the See also:standard drink of Englishmen in the East, resulted in Bass being asked to See also:supply a beer which would withstand the See also:Indian See also:climate and be generally suitable to the Indian market. After a See also:series of experiments he produced what is still known as Bass's pale ale. This new and lighter beer at once became popular all over India, and Bass's firm became the largest in Burton. After William Bass's See also:death the business was carried on by his son, M. T.
Bass, and then by his See also:grandson, See also:Michael See also:- THOMAS

Thomas Bass (1799-1884). In 1827 a See also:vessel laden with Bass's beer was wrecked in the Irish Channel. A large proportion of the See also:cargo was however salved and sold at See also:Liverpool, where it met with See also:great approval in the See also:local market, and through this See also:chance circumstance the firm opened up a See also:regular trade in the See also:north-See also:west of See also:England and See also:Ireland. " Bass " was, however, little drunk in London till 1851, when it was supplied on See also:draught at the See also:Exhibition of that See also:year, since. which time its reputation has been See also:world-wide. In 188o the business was turned into a limited liability company. Michael Thomas Bass, besides actively conducting and extending the firm's operations, was a See also:man of great public spirit and philanthropy, and the towns of Burton and See also:Derby are largely indebted to his munificence. He took a keen See also:interest in all questions affecting the welfare of the working classes, and was largely instrumental in securing the abolition of imprisonment for See also:debt. On his death, See also:prior to which he had taken into See also:partnership Messrs Ratcliff and Gretton, two of the leading officials of the brewery, converting the business into a limited company known as Messrs Bass, Ratcliff & Gretton, Ltd., the See also:control of the firm passed to his sons, Michael See also:Arthur Bass and See also:Hamar Bass (d. 1898). Michael Arthur Bass (1837-1909), after twenty-one years in See also:parliament as member first for See also:Stafford, then for two divisions of See also:Staffordshire, was in 1886-raised to the See also:peerage as See also:Baron Burton; by a See also:special patent of 1897 the peerage descended to his daughter, Nellie, the wife of Mr J. E. See also:Baillie of Dochfour, the baronetcy descending to his See also:nephew W.
A. Hamar Bass (b. 1879).
