Kid Chocolate Throws A Second Jab

First Kieran Haslett-Moore penned a positive piece on Kid Chocolate packing a punch in Capital Times and now Bruce Holloway celebrates the little known Mild Ale style (and laments the lack of craft beer appreciation at beer festivals). Look out for this second article with this weekend's papers in the "Your Weekend" glossy supplement.

Nice one Kieran and Bruce. Thanks for the props and good health to more good beer writing.

Kid Chocolate Packs A Punch

"Thankfully Mild’s day has come again as a new wave of British Micro brewers have taken to the style, revitalising it with new interpretations and an altogether cooler image.

Well now, that movement has hit here, because in the brewing world you don’t get much cooler than the Yeastie Boys. Their autumn release, Kid Chocolate is a mild through and through.

Named for the New Orleans Featherweight boxer and RnB singer who in the 1950s punched way above his modest stature, Kid Chocolate at 3.6%abv is packed with earthy chocolate, bready malt, subtle berry fruit notes and a balanced finish which makes for a very tasty session-able drop."
