Brown Ale,
going back to the mid- to late '70s,
I never saw Mild in outer north west London sports clubs bars,
but,
Mann's Brown Ale, in bottles was always available
for those who found Bitter too bitter.
It was a step further along from a 'Pint of Light & Bitter'.
A generous landlord/barperson would raw of 2/3 point of Bitter
and also hand over a half pint bottle of 'Light Ale'.
A meanie would pour the Light Ale into the pint glass then top off with Bitter.
