Any feedback, from drinkers or pubs taking part, will be
most welcome and could help shape how future trails run.
Please be mindful that from time to time things go
wrong and, due to unforeseen circumstances, pubs
may not receive casks. Also, being a living product,
a beer may not be on sale due to its condition.
Therefore a Mild may not be available so please be
understanding. Do also check the contact list as some
venues will be participating on selected dates only.
A number of local pubs have sponsored a T shirt for
the event. Send in your completed forms for a chance
of receiving one. Thanks are due to The Pub, King’s

CAMRA celebrates and promotes the Mild beer style
during May. This is the second year of an organised
Leicester Branch Mild Trail. It is open to all; you don’t
have to be a CAMRA member. The trail is aimed
at promoting the Cask Mild style of beer, which is
sometimes overlooked. It also gives people taking part
in the trail a chance to go and discover pubs where they
may not generally venture to. Join one of our planned
social crawls ,go at your own pace or a bit of both…..
