Dark Mild

Smooth, Dark Ruby Ale

A 3.4% dark ruby beer with roasted notes and a smooth, creamy taste. A favourite of lovers of a good mild.

Especially popular in East Lancashire and loved as a guest further afield. One of the finest dark Yorkshire milds still in independent production.

We have moved Dark Mild from 3.5% to 3.4% alcohol by volume [ABV] for all to benefit from the new lower duty rates. Given the change is only 0.1% of alcohol and HMRC tolerances (e.g. 3.49% ABV is rounded down to 3.4% not up to 3.5%) we have not had to make any changes to our recipe but just minor adjustments to fermentation, that will be imperceptible to the consumer.
