Wolverhampton CAMRA Mild in May pub crawl

To help revive the drink, CAMRA branches encourage local pubs to have at least one mild on the bar during the month of May, and some organise trips to pubs and breweries that embrace and support the beer style.

Mild is a beer style which developed in the late 18th and 19th centuries as drinkers started to demand a slightly sweeter and less aggressively hopped beer than porter. Early milds were much stronger than modern versions, which tend to be 3% - 3.5% ABV, though a number of brewers are bringing strength back into style.

Mild is usually dark brown in colour, due to the use of well-roasted malts or roasted barley. Look for a rich malty aroma and flavour, with hints of dark fruit, chocolate, coffee and caramel, with a gentle underpinning of hop bitterness.

We will be going on a pub trail, visiting some of our pubs that serve great pints of mild, starting at Codsall Station Pub at 12noon.
We will include a visit to The Firs Club to present them with their Club of the Year 2025 Winner's award, which is taking place at around 3pm.

The crawl will continue around Codsall and beyond, depending on where the mild trail takes us.
All are welcome
