mild or bitter

[billyo]

i have noticed that most people either drink bitter or lager now but mild is starting to look like a pint of the past what can we do to bring the great british pint of mild back is mild less stronger than bitter

can you still get it? not in my local, I never liked it, it was like gravy browning

Yes mild is weaker than bitter.

The pub I used to work in served a "Mickey Mouse", half a bitter and half a mild in the same glass. However, I got something different when I asked one of the barmaids for a "Donald Duck".

what was that then?

I tried mild once, didn't like it, saw no point in ever trying it again.

A half-pint of bitter is much less intoxicating and most taste better than wife-beater lager.

what was that then?

A slap round the face.

Bernard,
It must have been some of that muck that they serve 'darn sarf' with no head on it.
Flat as a f4rt and tastes cr4p!

Bitters are fantastic, from the light summer hoppy ones right to those which suit this time of year like Bombardier and Hobgoblin, to the more quaffable best bitters like e.g. Black Sheep, all brilliant!!

Mild isn't a drink ... It's a punishment ... We should force prisoners to drink it as part of their sentence
