Mild Ale
Five hundred years ago, almost all British beers existed as both stale and mild ales. From its earliest use through the 18th Century, the term “mild” referred to an entire class of ales. These beers were much bigger than today’s mild (perhaps 20 °P or more) and they were served young and sweet with residual malt sugars. Any beer could be called mild as long as it lacked the sourness of aged beers, such as stale or stock ale.
Six Summer Beer Clones
The mercury is rising and so is your thirst. If you’d like to make some beer that is as flavorful as it is thrist-quenching, we’ve got six summertime brews to cure the summertime blues — Goose Island Summer Kölsch, Firestone Walker ‘Lil Opal, Harpoon Summer Beer, Brooklyn Summer Ale, Anderson Valley Summer Solstice Cerveza Crema and Magic Hat Hocus Pocus.
Kölsch
