Spring cleaning ... Delayed
In the previous issue of Brauwelt International we reported that the red triangle, the world’s oldest trademark and the symbol of Bass on top of the former Bass maltings and brewery were bound to go south as Coors was establishing its presence in Britain’s famous beer town.
Now it seems that Coors will have to delay its spring cleaning until the end of August because a pair of peregrine falcons have made their nest at the Bass Maltings tower. Peregrine falcons are a rare protected bird and it is an offence to deliberately or recklessly disturb a nest under the 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act. Apparently, the birds set up their nest near the red triangle last year already and successfully raised two young before returning to the nest in late March this year..
