Mild magicians cast spell again

Anyone can become a mild magician during the UK’s longest running and largest promotion of the beer style which kicks off Friday.  Organised by volunteers from several CAMRA branches, the Mild Magic trail, now in its 32nd year runs from 10 April until Sunday 17 May. This year 102 pubs are taking part, covering a wide area in and around Greater Manchester and all will be stocking at least one cask mild for the five-week event.
