For some poor sods that may have been the only way of getting one.

Hi This post got me thinking to some of the local nicknmes for beers, down here when i was at sea it was*boilermaker* ie brown and mild, never see mild on the pump now, in fact i was out with friends on Sunday and asked the barmaid if she had mild on the pumps, she looked at me as if from a strange planet!!!. I used to drink Boilermakers when i was young and at sea(1958), one and nine pence a pint. The other one was *drip and a drop* which was a pint of bitter with a splash of lemonade. Be interesting if similar names existed else where, regards KT

Keith, there are still over two hundred different milds brewed in the UK, mainly by micro-breweries. Most widely available is probably Marstons "Banks Original", and i have heard of barstaff thinking it is a bitter.

When I owned my two pubs in Kent we had light mild. It was the colour of bitter but a mild all the same, unlike most other milds that were always adrk. It was a beer peculiar to Trumans brewery and only availble in Kent.
