Where to drink Mild
Note: This page last updated in 2012, the information is historic not current
An often asked question is where can you still get mild?
In the Southern Hampshire region there are still a number of pubs that have a mild on all the time, usually one of the old Winchester Brewery pubs that were taken over by Marstons in 1923 and subsequently sold to Greene King in 1999 — Greene King XX mild is still available in a few outlets
In addition, the success of CAMRA's 'May is Mild Month' campaign means a fair number of pubs have Mild as a seasonal brew.
The table below endeavours to give an up-to-date list but, perhaps inevitably, won't succeed. While ideally this page should be a 'wiki', the author hasn't had time to do that yet, but please send any extra knowledge you have to mild@shantscamra.org.uk or better still, post comments in our Forum under Pubs - Mild, Where to get it
