Indeed, and I kicked off the Mild month of May with a particularily good pint of Coach house Brewing Company Gunpowder Mild yesterday :drinkup:

Well, the demographic for the research must have been specifically targetted (eg all CAMRA members?) because, despite the recent small but welcome increase in the market share of real ale, it is still relatively paltry, & there is no way that 47% of a randomly questioned number of people would know whether their local brewer had produced a recent mild, or that 35% would have noticed real beer, never mind mild, over the past month. Maybe the research took place in close proximity to Hobsons or Sarah Hughes strongholds...

I was in my local Ember over the Royal Wedding weekend. The M&B Mild has gone from the handpull and consigned to smoothpour.

The barman told me that the 'real' M&B Mild was no longer being supplied. They had only been sent one keg of 'smooth' which had soon run out.

The barman told me that the regulars were in uproar and the barstaff weren't happy.

I know Embers can be a bit naff, but my local is quite good.

Is M&B Mild about to disappear?

Mild is still popular round here , most pubs sell it though it can be Bankss overkill at times , there is still the odd pub where Mild outsells everything else put together :D

Extraordinary short-sightedness? Here was me thinking that supply-and-demand drove the market...

To be honest, I don't think I needed some magazine article to tell me tha mild is regaining at least some of it's former popularity. A couple of years ago, mebbe three, the chance of seeing a mild in a southern pub, offie or supermarket was minimal and usually only during a beer festival.
Now, it seems to everywhere, not in vast quantities, but considerable variety. This is a purely subjective point of view and you are welcome to query it if you wish, but of the last three pints I have drunk, two bottles and an ill-remebered pint at the Hampshire Country Fair last Monday, all were at least labelled Mild..........:notworthy::drinkup::drinkup::drinku p:

[Oggwyn Trench]

Only two MILDs :notworthy: for me this week Pictish Black Diamond Mild which was excellent and Sarah Hughes Ruby which sadly was past its best or perhaps my taste buds were very jaded after a pub crawl of Huddersfield :cheers:

Me and the Wife did 4 years running and got up to the silver award did'nt quite make it to the gold award.

If you are travelling around Nottingham and the conurbation there are some good all day tickets to help you out.

Kangaroo ticket lets you travel on any NCT or trent barton bus within the Nottingham area you can also use this on the Tram lines this costs £3.40

A Zig Zag ticket lets you travel on any Trent Barton bus this is over a very wide area of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire this costs about £4.80

Both of these tickets are for one days travel.

I hope you enjoy the Nottingham Mild trail.

64 pubs on the Shropshire Mild Trail this year , dont think i will make them all , no harm in trying though:D

Depressingly, I've only managed one so far this month. :( Great Heck - Voodoo Mild was decent but not earth shattering.

The Keltek 4 K at the Tom Cobley Inn Spreyton Devon was excellent on Saturday

I'm glad that Mild is still available somewhere. I asked at the Priory Arms if they were going to get Mild in at the beginning of May and was told they hope so. It is now nearing the end of the month and none have appeared. When I asked again, I was told that none of the breweries he gets real ale from are not doing any.
The Manor Arms hasn't got any either. I'm going to try the Falcon in Clapham Junction, I'm sure they must have at least one.

MILD trail in Nottigham was class - so many MILDs. I hope to catch-up with my reviews over the next couple of weeks
