History - Printon error

"Prior to establishing a brewery, William Bass transported ale for brewer Benjamin Printon."

Although this is a claim repeatedly made, Bass couldn't have been transporting ale for Printon because Printon had died in 1729, when Bass was only 12. Printon's brewery was run by the Musgrave family from 1729 to 1803 - see here Zythophile (talk) 02:47, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
