Answer 2

I believe to drink a mild ale you'd have to be in a pub because a mild ale was always served on tap. On bottle, it's a brown ale.

I know this because I sometimes make beer at home. Also I've listed a source for it below. Although, I'll have to say, brown beer is popular with home brewers in this country.

The popularity of mild ale peaked in the 1950s. British people liked color in their beer while Americans, it appears, do not.

Very few beers in America have sustained any popularity other than the very, very pale straw color.

I can't think of one dark beer made in America that is very popular. The only beer made in North America that has gained any foothold is an Irish beer made by license in Canada and that's Guinness.

If you're American, look at the bottle and you'll see it's not from Ireland anymore. And, Americans like their beer fizzy.

Guinness is an Irish stout and sold on tap or in bottles and considered to be dryer than English stout. English stout is never sold on tap and supposedly sweeter in taste.

There have been booked devoted to recreating English beer as it originally was, or is, when fresh. Watney's-Man (Brown ale?) was really a good brew to make and let age. Mac stout is the best if you make it but from the imports, it was drain cleaner.

There's also the barley wines and Imperial Stouts. If you get an Imperial Stout when it's fresh, it's wonderful, if you like dark beer.

Answer 3

I never drank mild beers. Guinness is best when you are thirsty for something special. Have drunken a host of locally made German beers. You could argue through a weekend and, then, some to try to determine the best.

Answer 4

You liver works hard to distribute all your consumption of alcohol. Kind of like a car that is ran and ran for years with little oil/tune ups. Cancer may not be what you will get,, maybe cirrhosis? Be glad your scans came back good, that is a blessing. The lab work can get better looking if you start taking better care of the liver you were given at birth to take you through life.

Answer 5

Yes, I drink Brown (Manns) and Mild in the King Ethelbert in Reculver, Kent

Answer 6

Hmmm, Mild went out of fashion in pubs almost 20 years ago, along with Gold Label/Mackesons/Port and Lemon, etc, etc! Popular post war drink, often mixed half and half with bitter, I really cant say I have seen it in any pubs down South for years?

Answer 7

Occasionally

Answer 8

I visit several pubs that have mild as a guest beer occasionally and it seems to sell well but I find it not hoppy enough for me.

Answer 9

I remember being little and my dad used to take us to the social club with my sister and we`d meet up with uncle John and his 2 kids - they always drank mild or bitter but you dont see much of that now - that was about 30 years back..... tasted alright I think but wouldn`t interest me though....

Answer 10

Since you didn't specify what you thought was a "mild" beer, I'm going to define it for you as to what I think.

Budwiser (US/Canada version), Coors, Miller, Busch are all "mild" beers to me. These no longer have a taste for me as well. So the answer is NO, I don't drink these anymore. If these are the only beers available, I will drink soda or water.

Probably because my tastes have moved on to Shiner, Guiness, Sam Adams, etc.

Answer 11

No unless you consider Guinness mild.
