Page "Mild ale" Paragraph 11

Until the 1960s mild was the most popular beer style in England.

Pockets of demand remain, particularly in the West Midlands and North West England, but has been largely ousted by bitter and lager elsewhere.

In 2002, only 1. 3 % of beer sold in pubs was Mild.

Mild's popularity in Wales, in particular, persisted as a relatively low-alcohol, sweet drink for coal miners.

Some brewers have continued to produce mild, but have find it sells better under a different name: for instance, Banks's mild was renamed Original.

Outside the United Kingdom, Mild is virtually unknown, with the exception of Old in New South Wales and some microbrewery recreations in North America and Scandinavia.
