Wrongly derided in recent years as an “old bloke’s drink”, the best milds can be simply sublime. Theakston Mild is particularly notable because of the three-malt brewing process we use. Each different malt (pale, crystal and black malt) makes its own contribution, and the result is a dark, dry, satisfying pint.
Mild was first created in the middle of the 19th century as a cheaper and, in many cases, weaker alternative to the darker ales prevalent at that time. Mild was particularly popular among farm and factory workers as a way of replenishing liquid lost through physical labour. By the mid-20th century, mild was the most popular kind of draught beer in Britain

Tasting Notes
A dark, delicious beer with a dry palate and a full, rounded, Fuggle hop flavour. Brewed using three different malts: pale malt for body, crystal malt for rich flavour, and black malt for texture and taste.
