It’s still Mild month. That’s my excuse for yet more Mild stuff.
Even better, it’s about Tetley Mild. Or rather, Milds. Back then they brewed three. Or four.

I’m amazed that they were brewing something as strong as X2 in 1920. It’s a proper full-strength Mild, reminiscent of a pre-WW I London X Ale.
I’m pretty sure F (which I think stands for Family Ale) was a bottled Mild. But it’s far too weak to be Special Mild Ale because it cost the same as Guinness Stout. It has to be the strongest Mild, X2.
