I was born in Wolverhampton and brought up on Marstons and Banks. This news is dismaying. Mind, even when I was a teenager, mild had the reputation of an old man's drink. (Though some people liked a pint of 'Mix' - half mild, half bitter). It needs some influential chef to make mild fashionable with some inspired food pairing, say. Paging Wolves' own Nigel Slater?
