It's Peroni beer - not that I got it ! I would have thought Bass and Harp were British brands so I'd never have touted that solution here. EDIT yes Bass originated in Burton -on-Trent a UK centre for brewing but Harp is Irish , though promoted in the UK just like Guiness which now owns Bass.

Connections, I was able to score the perfect solve in light blue, green yellow and purple. I found light blue and green right away, knew what yellow had to be but I paused, trying to figure out Purple which I could not do, so I decided to enter yellow and be done with it. After the reveal, of those beers, I had only heard of BUD. I'm not a huge beer drinker but when I do, I tend to sample the local ale / draft / brew. A lot of people put pepperoni in the yellow category, yet that didn't make any sense to me because the other four were slang for wiener or at least what you might put in a bun. You don't put pepperoni in a bun and call it a hot dog. The other four, yes. My guess pattern was 1 in 108. The Connections Bot rated this one 5/5, extremely tricky. Really? I thought 3 categories were easy to find so purple became the default solve. But 58% solve rate and only 11% scored the perfect solve so I guess it was. The Connections Companion gave this a 3.5 where I would have given it a 3.0.
Pepperoni got me, though I recognise Peroni beer. Harp is something of a joke in the UK (outside Northern Ireland). I'm not sure it's even sold these days. Similar story with Bass.

I got banger because I remembered the British dish "bangers and mash" and made an educated guess from there

I was particularly surprised by the OSE ending. The French solution today was GNOSE (which I got in 3)
It’s Peroni. I had the same problem as I’m a very infrequent drinker.
A catchy song is a bop, a song with a thumping beat is a banger, so I got stuck with hit, looking for a fourth. I got to purple by process of elimination, but I had no concept of some of those beer brands.
Bass ale and Peroni an Italian beer

The obscure Britishism in this puzzle wasn't one of the beers, it was Banger!
@@Jason820 I can see that now , but its such an everyday word to me- not that I like sausages much.
