The Oldies Thread

What's the mild ? Should be seen more, and ditch the ubiquitous overtly hoppy crap.

It’s made by a young lad who has set up a brewery recently and only started selling a month or two back. I promised him we would support him as he built it up. So far we’ve had a really good Bitter and now we’ve had the Mild on a couple of weeks running as guest beers. I was never a Mild drinker in the past but I appreciate good beer and both are excellent. The feedback from customers has been wonderful. A mate of mine also owns a pub closer to the new brewery and he has been getting similar responses. I’m made up for the young man and his dad who helps him……

Serious question. Is your mild dark or light?

In Liverpool it is always dark. I spend time in Manchester and it is sometimes very light.

It’s a dark beer…..

Bit racist, Pete.

But they used white chalk…oh ffs I’ve done it again……

The thing is, is that these days we have whiteboards.

I drank Mild for many years when I was young, brown mild with Manns brown I would still go for. Everyone said it was an old man's drink while they were spewing up on Oranjeboom and a Herdygerdyschmürgenbraü, I just laughed and put them all into taxis and stole their women**


**this didn't happen but could have if I'd tried ***

***this bit is also a slight exaggeration

….played there in County Schoolboys trial in about 1972/73 and turned my ankle over quite badly. Swelled like a balloon and a priest walked me back to the dressing room, still remember that.

Is that a euphemism?

I was a student down in Cardiff in the 1980s. Brains do a great real ale mild ...

….Manns Brown an essential ingredient with either Mild or Bitter. I did go through a spell of drinking ‘fifty’ which for those that don’t know, was half Mild, half draught Guinness.
