Brewing a DARK MILD: One of the BEST KEPT SECRETS in ENGLISH BEER
Channel: TheApartmentBrewer
Date: 2024-04-08

Dark Mild is one of the coolest beer styles I've been sleeping on for so long. It is simultaneously low in alcohol, but high in drinkability and flavor, and feels like a full-sized beer! The flavor is nutty, rich and malty and leaves you wanting another pint, which is fine because this is less than 4% ABV! This rare beer style almost disappeared entirely if not for homebrewers and is finally starting to come back.
