May was Mild Month
The
Month of May is
Mild Month.
Many of the real ale pubs in
Liverpool
and throughout the country will be joining in by getting
some interesting mild's for the occasion. As many of you
will no doubt have discovered Higson's is back and brewing
a decent pint. And if you pop in the
Ship
now you'll find Higson's Stout with a Mild brewed to an
original recipe to be produced for May, which will also be
available in the
Lion,
Belvedere
and
Ma Boyles
(other beers will follow later in the year).
The
Roscoe Head
regularly has Tetley Mild, and the
Lion
is planning to change Banks Original to Highgate Mild.
Other
Pubs regularly serving mild include:
Carnarvon Castle,
the
Willowbank,
Dispensary, Dr Duncans, the Edinburgh
and the
Brewery Tap.
And of course the pub voted best pub in the district for
the 2nd year running the Turks Head in St Helens are having
a beer festival too with
6 handpumps
with Milds, and a further 6 for other beers. Support
thoroughly encouraged. Get down there!! Festival runs from
Friday 2nd May to Monday 5th May. From then on there will
be a rotating mild.
A
Mild Crawl
is planned in Liverpool on
15 May.
