This to give you a preview of what a discussion of Irish Mild Ale might include. And who doesn't like a nice strong Mild recipe?
One step up from Table Beer is something simply called “Ale”. A term, which, in the 19th century, usually referred to Mild Ale. I’m assuming that’s what this is. An Irish Mild Ale.
It’s a type of beer which, until I got my hands on some Irish brewing records, I was very much in the dark about. Seeing as it gets pretty much zero attention in contemporary brewing literature. Which focuses completely on Stout. I guess English brewers weren’t really interested in Irish Mild.
At 1067º, it’s a good bit stronger than a London X Ale, which, at the time, was around 1055º. It’s around the strength that an XX Ale would have been, had anyone still brewed one in London.
In essence, it’s a scaled-up version of Table Beer. With the same three elements: base malt, sugar and caramel. The sugar being simply described as “Sacch.” I’ve plumped for No. 2, it being a fairly neutral choice.
The result isn’t a particularly dark beer. Though more colour could have been added through primings.
Just the one type of English hops, for which I’ve guessed Fuggles. A fairly robust hopping rate, leaves a fairly bitter beer.
