Still a few days left in May. Enough time for another Mild recipe. One quite different from the last.
This time it's a Triple Mild from the 1860s. The sort of beer where people say: "How can that be a Mild? It's almost 8% ABV and over 50 IBU." Pretty simple, really. Mild Ale used to mean something different. Or at least to drinkers. No-one in the 1860s would have been surprised by a Mild of this strength.
It wasn't even the strongest Mild in Lovibond's portfolio. They also made a XXXX that was over 10% ABV.
The recipe is uncomplicated. As most 19th century recipes are. Just base malt and a mixture of English and American hops.
