Mild Ale: History, Brewing, Techniques, Recipes

by Dave Sutula

Overview

No longer are mild ales confined to the small towns of England. Once a designation for an entire class of beers, mild ale now refers to a beer style some describe as the “elixir of life for the salt of the earth.” Mild is a beer that can be at once light or dark, very low or very high in alcohol, and either rich in dark malt flavor or light and crisp with a touch of hop flavor and aroma. The recipes included offer a wide range of interpretations for a style that has unparalleled flexibility. The Classic Beer Style Series from Brewers Publications examines individual world-class beer styles, covering origins, history, sensory profiles, brewing techniques and commercial examples.

About the Author

What began on a lark when he took home a book from the library on homebrewing became a full-time avocation for David throughout his college years. His hobby turned semi-professional when he started making an hour long drive to volunteer at a Michigan brewpub. After graduating from school and short careers as an eighteenth century woodworker and a newspaper stringer, he took his hobby to the professional level at Cleveland’s Crooked River Brewing Company in 1993. In between more than a half-dozen gigs at breweries in and around Cleveland, Dave spent a lot of time among the stacks at Siebel, Heriot-Watt and a score of local libraries researching traditional brewing techniques. He is currently perched on the brewhouse platform at Canton Brewing Company in Canton, Ohio.
