Description
WHAT A CHRISTMAS PRESENT THIS WOULD MAKE!
A bottle of Bass Ratcliff Ale brewed on 16th December 1869 - in original condition.
"Ratcliff Ale was brewed in 1869, to mark the birth of a member of the Ratcliff family. The name of the person it celebrates varies in different sources, between Harry and Robert, but it was more likely Harry. The name is not stated on the label, and the bottle was probably not released as a commemorative beer as we know it, but was intended simply to be drunk as a celebration, perhaps at the son's 21st birthday. The date of bottling is not known, but the label was not produced until 1876 at the earliest, because it bears the Bass Diamond trade mark, which was registered in 1876. The beer was issued in standard, plain bottles, in contrast with the later Bass Corkers which were produced in special embossed bottles. The quantity produced is not known, but as the bottles are comparatively common for their age, there must have been a large number produced. The beer is unlikely to have been specially brewed. The contents were No. 1 Strong Ale, a regular brew which was brewed with that name right up until comparatively recently." M. Peterson |

1902 Bass King's Ale - Quart bottle
"King's Ale is a strong ale brewed in 1902. Contrary to popular opinion, this had nothing to do with the 1902 coronation. The newly crowned King Edward VII visited the Brewery in February and started the mash, and the beer was then stored in cask to mature. The equivalent of about 400 casks of 36 gallons were brewed. In 1905 a limited quantity was released. It wasn't until 1911 (for the King's coronation), that the first large batch was issued. All brewery issues except the magnum were in very a...
