Although on the brink of extinction, this little-known ale is reaping the benefits of a current trend in U.S. craftbrewing circles—reviving obscure beer styles. No longer are mild ales confined to the small towns of England. Beer enthusiasts, homebrewers, and craftbrewers will now be able to relish this satisfying beer style with the advent of Mild Ale.
Mild ale's history is entwined with brown ale, porter, old ale, and every other style of traditional British ale. Its roots can be traced back to a time when private citizens did most of the brewing for their own use, and publicans brewed for a handful of patrons. Once a designation for an entire class of beers, mild ale now refers to a beer style some describe as the elixir of life for the salt of the earth.
Number 15 in the highly respected Classic Beer Style Series, Mild Ale offers insight into the essentials of a beer style that is hard to find in the United States. And, its recipes offer a wide range of interpretations for a style that has unparalleled flexibility.
