#MildMonthUS is on!

A few weeks ago I wrote a post about the possibility of having a US based equivalent of CAMRA's May is Mild Month. A couple of days later Tom Cizauskas from Yours for Good Fermentables got in touch to tell me that he and Lew Bryson thought the idea was a good one and that he would be on board, so I decided to test the waters and see if any of my local breweries would be interested in brewing mild ales for May, and overwhelmingly they were.

Thus American Mild Month was born, the domain registered, the Facebook page created, the Twitter account created, and the hashtag #MildMonthUS started.

The website and Facebook pages are very much works in progress, and I hope to be unveiling the project logo in the very near future.

So far the following breweries have committed to having mild ales available in May:

• Three Notch'd Brewing, VA
• Blue Mountain Brewery, VA
• Champion Brewing, VA
• South Street Brewery, VA
• Mad Fox Brewing, VA
• Williamsburg Alewerks, VA
• Oliver Ales, MD
• Brewers Union Local 180, OR
• Jester King Brewing, TX
• Freetail Brewing, TX
• Pour Decisions/Brewstillery, MN

The following breweries are possibly taking part:

• Fortnight Brewing, NC
• Twin Leaf Brewing, NC
• Devils Backbone Brewing, VA

As more breweries come on board I'll be adding them to the list over on the American Mild Month website, and I'll be adding details of the milds being brewed as I get them.

If you know of any breweries that would be interested in joining the project, let me know, and let them know about American Mild Month. Other than that, like the Facebook page, follow the Twitter account, and get set for drinking Mild ale in May!
