50 POINT MILD

English Mild

CHRISTOPHER BOURDAGES

“This beer is a real winner! It’s my only beer to receive a perfect BJCP score of 50 (a mysterious and elusive unicorn said to be wholly unattainable by mortal men). Thanks to mild malt, this beer drinks like a cross between a rich northern English brown and an extra special bitter. It’s fantastic for those who want to slake their thirst without getting too wobbly. Raise a pint and toast the sacred unicorn you now hold firmly in your grasp.”
