| | Milds are still popular in Wales and Northwest England, but are less popular than bitter in the rest of the world. | | | Mild Ale is one of the oldest styles of beer from England, and originally meant a young or immature ale. | | | Due to expanding population and demand for beer in the 18th century, some brewers began to sell beer before it was ready, at a lower cost than fully matured ales which could require cellaring in the bottle for up to a year. |

| | Magic Mushroom Mild - Review - Hallucinogenic Beer! |
| | The name implies that it is something different and it is! For those of you who are unsure, a Mild Ales are generally classed as beers that are brewed using fewer hops than Bitter style ones. | | | Some of the beers that are brewed include Arbor Light (a light hoppy beer at 3.6% ABV), Hartington IPA (a slightly sweet India Pale Ale at 4.5% ABV) and Hartington Bitter (a classic traditional bitter at 4% ABV). | | | Milds also tend to be lower in alcohol than some other beer types ~ these are just generalizations, because light coloured Milds (like Timothy Taylors Golden Best) and stronger ones (like Gales Festival Mild at 4.8% and Sarah Hughes Dark Ruby Mild at 6%) do crop up. |

| | Bitters are highly drinkable ales, carrying some of the characteristics of the pale ale, but with less of a “hop kiss” and more of the added sweetness from a considerable malt base. | | | The “extra special bitter” style, however, has an interesting history as it is a beer style derived from one specific ale, Fuller’s Extra Special Bitter from Great Britain. | | | The sweetness is wrestled into submission at the finish by a an equally strong zest of hops; a tart bitterness lingers at the finish as the two taste extremes mix. |

| | BREWING IN STYLE- English Brown and Mild Ales |
| | Mild ale is even less bitter and lower in alcohol than brown ale. | | | Mild is generally thought of as a laborer's beer; it is more thirst-quenching because it is less bitter, and more can be drank without intoxication as it is lower in alcohol. | | | Due to the typically high amounts of calcium carbonate and, to a lesser extent, sodium chloride, in the water, and because of the malting techniques employed, English brown and mild ales have relatively high finishing gravities, low hop utilization, and high residual maltiness. |

| | Pale ale is a traditional English style that came about in the 19th Century as a specific term used to describe a "premium" bitter. | | | The intense hop flavor and aroma of many American pale ales can be attributed to "dry hopping", which is the addition of hops to the beer during its fermenting or conditioning stage. | | | Compared to their English cousins, American pale ales tend to be even more hoppy in character with the distinctive floral and spicy flavors of American hops. |
