Are there any English Milds available in NYC?

[Bassman]

I'd like to sample a real British Mild and I live in NYC. Does anyone know of a bar that carries a Mild on draught or a store that has it in bottles?

Thanks!

Can't help with the question, but you'd be pretty hard put to find mild in England these days. I haven't seen it sold in a pub for 20 years or so!

I thought Hook Norton had one. I had worked for an English company and would go to Oxfordshire a couple of times a year.

I stupidly turned down a chance to move there!!!

Idiot!

I was thinking salary and not quality of life.

But what good is money if you don't have 3 pubs in walking distance full of real ale to blow it on?

It's all lies. I used to have 12 in walking distance!

I have English Mild on draft right now. I never had commercial example of this style and its hard to judge for me how it is. I know its very very mild and I used less hops than I was supposed to.

If you want I can pour a empty plastic soda bottle and I can give it to you in Manhattan during the week.

Thanks. Our monthly style education at our brewclub is British Mild and I'm trying to track down a commercial example(s) as well. I'm not having much luck. It doesn't help I'm in KS either!
