You really should register the IP for that concept..................sounds like a winner and stranger things have happened.;)Quote:

We are of course in the enlightened North though!:evilgrin:
And enlightened north London, with two on at the Southampton last night: Arbor's Destiny's Mild and Mancherster Mild.Quote:

Rubbish article, theres plenty of mild around, traditional and craft.Quote:

There's always a mild on at the Kelham Island Tavern, usually Half Moon Dark Masquerade 3.6%, but I can't think of another pub where I regularly come across a mild. Tapped brewery (at the Sheffield Tap) did a light mild last year, but I haven't seen it since.Quote:

The Southampton seems to have a regular mild; two on Monday with I think no milds on at the Wenlock on Saturday, but I could have been wrong.Quote:

That's 14 pints of mild over 16 pub visits. That compares with 626 pints drunk in pubs over 501 pub visits in 2021. It's hard to say whether there have been occasions when a mild has been on but I haven't drunk it - sometimes I'm just not in the mood for a mild. But 14 out of 626 is only just over 2%.
(Sorry the table's hard to read - I don't know how to bring forward spreadsheet formatting to this forum.)
I've just done a quick search for the word 'mild' in my 2021 pub reviews (whether imbibed or just noted it as being available) and came up with 3.8% in total.Quote:

Nice bit of research!Quote:

Did you just count those which had 'mild' in the name? I seem to increasingly come across dark brews, sometimes claiming to be porters but often just with a silly name, which I would categorise as milds. And that's not even thinking about what we used to call light milds (are there any left?). I know some brewers decided to stop using the term - presumably under advice from brand-mongers - like McMullens, which you do call AK Mild but they don't any more!Quote:

Out of the 11 different beers in my list, seven (I think) have MILD in the name, but Dark Masquerade, Holderness Dark, AK and Vimy Bomber do not. Timothy Taylor Golden Best is a mild, and it would have been on that list if I had drunk any.Quote:

Yes. Highly likely. If the current owner is closing through being saddled with debt, then I imagine that with the [probably embellished] history, someone will make a go of it.Quote:
