*** Mild in May ***

Every year, during the month of May, CAMRA celebrates and promotes the beer style known as Mild

Pale Milds
Gold to dark brown in colour, these beers differ from Bitters and Pale Ales in that they should be lightly hopped and may have a corresponding light fruit character. Malt must be present and the beer may be sweet with a little diacetyl (butterscotch/toffee).
Dark Milds
Dark brown to black in colour and sweet with a light bitterness. The dominant flavour should be malt and roasted notes of chocolate, coffee and liquorice may be noticeable. Caramel and diacetyl (butterscotch/toffee) may also be present. May be sweet.

*** *** Handpull Hijack *** ***

Carlsberg Marston’s Brewing Company – one of the world’s largest brewery conglomerates – has resorted to misleading consumers by hijacking the handpump to serve its “Fresh Ale” product. CMBC says this is “preserving the beloved hand pull ritual that delivers the traditional theatre of serve that ale is famed for”.

CAMRA believes consumers deserve better than CMBC play acting at serving cask – a product they claim to champion while closing breweries and removing cask lines from bars. Our handpump hijack campaign calls on brewers to be proud of all their whole range of beers by serving them in a way that won’t mislead their customers.
