Dear Impy, I work for a wine and beer PR company in London and was really interested to come across your site when exploring the UK’s best beer blogs… we work with a whole host of beer brands, James Clay, Coors Speciality Brands, Duvel and Innis & Gunn from Edinburgh to name a few (see website for full details). We often hold events and tastings, many in and around London and send out news from our clients of new beers and so on. I wondered if you would be interested in hearing from us with invitations to events and anything beer related in the future? If this is of interest please could you send me your best email address for sending any invites and info to? Many thanks, Nicky

So awesome that this beer is percolating. Congrats! I hope it turns out great. Sounds like you had a great teacher to help you with it, so I’ve no doubt your will turn out much better than mine did.

Hi Delia– Milds seem like a logical choice during a hop crisis! I hope yours turns out. When I get a moment I’ll post the recipe we used. I do love milds, and would be really interested in tasting as many American interpretations as possible!

Hi Leigh– I definitely think the next batch I brew will be much less exciting, unless I can get Bob to fly to London and tell ghost stories while we boil the wort!

Coincidentally, I just bottled an “American Mild,” which was labeled such because I had to rearrange some ingredients. Instead of getting Maris Otter extract for a base, I had to settle for Light American Pale Malt syrup.

Here’s to hoping the Milds make it to the other side!

nice – the question is – if you brew it again with the lights on, will there be a difference!! Beer superstitions die hard! I brewed my last three beers listening to Fleet Foxes and am fearing it’s going to become an obsession! im gonna have to do it without one day!
