Cool to brew a mild. Not enough micros brew it.. I guess it doesn't have enough hops. This fall I'm planning a single mash 3 gallon porter/5 gallon mild; make the porter with first runnings; make the mild with the rest. Calculate my need of gravity points, measure and use DME to up if needed. I do one mash/sparge and get two batches out of it.

 

Mild is a rare beast indeed over here in the UK the vast majority of the micros never brewing milds.A local brewery to me Hobsons do brew a lovely example which won champion beer of Britain a few years back.In my youth a lot of the old timers drank pints of mixed half bitter half mild anyway good to see mild being brewed.

 

Yards Brewery in Philadelphia has a really nice one (Pugilistic Ale), but you have to either find it somewhere that has it on cask, or get the barkeep to pour it in a warm glass. They tend to put everything here in iced glasses and serve it way to cold. You can get it in bottles year round.

 

Lola's Dirty Blonde is likely an American twist on a Mild - all American malts but same general outcome.
