By the 1980s mild had been reduced to a footnote. CAMRA waged a decades long campaign just to keep it on life support. So why are we here on a stage or in the grass at Little Beer festival in 2026 treating it like it matters? Because, the market is quietly telling us something.

We’re in a moment defined by low and no alcohol growth, a consumer exhaustion with extreme beers, and real hunger for what you can call intentionally simple beers that reward attention rather than demand tolerance. Mild, a style built on nuance at low ABV, is almost perfectly positioned for this cultural moment.

Whether the industry is ready to actually embrace that is another question, and that’s what we’re here to explore today. This episode is hosted by Blake Tyres of Creature Comforts. He is joined by some of the most thoughtful professionals driving success in this space right now.

Carson’s successor, Jay Leno, had a bar cart behind the curtain to help guests take the edge off. When he began his run on ABC in 2003, Jimmy Kimmel opened a bar in his Los Angeles theater to audience members until a few got out of hand and the license was (voluntarily) pulled."

LOS ANGELES—The lineup on this particular September evening included a guy from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, who can remove his underpants without first taking off his track pants, an Idaho man who placed suction cup darts on his eyes and “George the Giant” from California, who used a long length ...

Yesterday in Cape Town judging concluded for the seventh edition of the Editor was in town to help with flights. Afterwards hosted a reception and revealed a special beer made just for the judges. 

"The competition judges decided on the parameters for the brew and left the rest open to interpretation," says the brewery. "Don't Judge Me" is a  classic style English bitter with a unique South African twist in the form of Naartjie and Rooibos. This is a truly South African brew and it's quite delicious.
