On 23rd July 1929 the King’s grandson, the Prince of Wales and later Edward VIII, continued the tradition by mashing this special ale at the brewery. The King had visited the brewery in Burton-upon-Trent in 1902 to brew a special “Kings Ale”. Unlike his Grandfather, Edward arrived by air and flew back to London on the same day. Quite an exceptional effort for the time! These bottles were all sealed with red wax, with the Bass logo embossed onto it.The beer was sold in many places and was said to be available up to 1945. It is approx 30cms tall, the level is at the top of the bottle shoulder. This vintage beer is shipped in a wooden presentation box with four wine accessories (corkscrew, wine pourer, drip stopper & wine thermometer) [worth £17.99] at no extra cost and now includes a free gift card with your personal message and tasting and storage notes.
