What's wrong with our mild!?! • As discussed, Jay has determined that this months edition of "The Session" will be all about mild and there is a panic throughout the globe. Why? Because it is a style that no one makes much anymore. It is a bit of historical dead end, as a lighter maltier beer …
We've had the stouts and we've had the dubbels. And this Friday the third in the beerapalooza of a monthly series called "The Session" will focus on milds. Jay will be host over at Brookston Beer Bulletin and he has posted a great introduction to the style there today. • Trouble is, I can't find …
