I really love to see a mild in brewpubs and tap rooms. Surly had one on tap when I was there (Minneapolis) and it's really a great style that most people don't even think about.
There was an Aleheads podcast a where they were talking about this exact question, and that was the one they all agreed on. I don't think I've ever even HAD a mild.
Anything that isn't super high-gravity or aggressively hopped.
This. I'm constantly tempted not to even look at Beeradvocate anymore. Almost every single beer on that top 100 list is an quad, imperial ipa, or imperial stout. None but maybe two or three are south of 8 abv.
The Sprecher pub in the town over from me has a mild on tap that blew me away the first time I tried it. I think English styles in general get the shaft when compared to American, Belgian or German styles.
Berliner Weisse hands down. Perfect warm weather beer. One day some American brewery will mass brew this, change the name to something more 'merican, market it triple hop brewed and its gonna take over! Or so I tell myself....

They're not alone, Oskar Blues, Full Sail, Red Hook, Fort George, Bayern...etc.American Pilsner. I think more of these need to be brewed. Victory and New Glarus can't continue standing alone on this.

Hikeon3 said:Absolutely right. All fine examples of the style.
Perhaps I feel as if it is more underappreciated than underbrewed. The craft industry associates Pilsners with bad beer thanks to the mighty commercial players.
Sahti!
I feel like a lot of people know about it but haven't tasted or tried to brew it... I get a lot of "I don't like gin" responses when I say it has juniper. It really is fantastic with some rye malt and a bit of grains of paradise to compliment the juniper and absolutely tastes nothing like gin.
