Seriously, what's up with the lack of love for mild's these days?
I understand it doesn't have the tooth enamel stripping qualities of a hoppy IPA or smash you over the head with flavor like a RIS, but you'd think that more people would sticking up for this little gem of English beer styles.
To remedy this, October is going to be Mild month here at casa de BierHaus (What better beer for the fall anyways?). Starting tomorrow I will brew a different batch of mild each week (a dark mild, a 'historical' mild, and a pale mild) and when it is all ready to drink, throw a nice mild beer tasting with my local mild-ale enthusiasts... and maybe get a few IPA obsessed friends to take the time and appreciate a beer that's a little more down to earth. If anyone has the mind to do the same, maybe we can organize a little exchange or something in November?
Anyways, here is the first installment of my 3xMild Project:
75% Pale, Maris Otter
8% Malted Oats
8% English Dark Crystal (75L)
5% English Extra Dark Crystal (160L)
4% Pale Chocolate (200L)
Fuggles @ 22 IBU
WY1968/ 1.038/ 19 SRM/
Anyone have any good dark mild recipes or suggestions?? I was thinking for next week doing something with Mild/Brown malt and using WY1469.
