A bit of a change of pace, today. Or perhaps a return to the past. To those heady days of the 2010s, when every day I'd post tables of beer analyses. Let's see if we can relive them.This is some information on post-war Light Mild which I've assembled for another project. One which, doubtless, I'll bore the eyebrows off you with later.
Where does Light Mild become Dark Mild? I've plumped for 46 EBC (old scale). Totally arbitrary, and possibly a little too high.
Talking of high, the degree of attenuation is just that in most examples. With the odd exception like Whiitaker Best Mild. Some are crazily high at over 90%, resulting in some Milds over 4% ABV. Which is pretty damn strong for a post=war Mild, Light or Dark. On the other hand, a few can't even scrape up to 3% ABV.
