Mild Magic 2022 - COMING SOON

Mild is an endangered species!

Until Hydes Brewery logo 2015 the Manchester region could boast the enviable position of having all four local family brewers producing at least one mild. That is until Robinson's decided to terminate all production of mild. Thankfully Hydes still brews mild and has agreed to sponsor Mild Magic for 2022. Holt and J W Lees also still brew milds and both are featured on Mild Magic.


Join us in April and May for this six week long passport trail


Mild Magic Inaugural Meander
Friday 1 April 2022

Why not join us on the opening evening, Friday April 1st, (Yes it is no April Fool's joke!) and get your first card half filled? This meander is targeted on Manchester City centre so is accessible to people from any part of Greater Manchester (and beyond?) who are taking part. We will primarily be walking between venues, but an odd tram might be hopped upon - if they appear on time. The finish is timed at 10pm to allow participants to cover an extra pub or two of their choice before having to depart home.

What does Mild Magic entail?

This CAMRA Mild Magic logo National award winning event is at heart a simple passport trail. With 88 pubs partaking in the 2022 event, we don't ask you to do ALL of them.

"But what do we have to do?" I hear you saying.

The Mild Challenge can be completed on any one of four levels.

To complete Mild Magic, you need to visit 12 different pubs which must also be located in 12 different areas, eg Stockport, Cheadle, Didsbury and et cetera. Do plan your visits carefully to ensure 12 areas are visited. Achieving this entitles you to either entry into Stockport's Beer and Cider Festival, or one free pint of mild there if you are already a CAMRA member ( see below for this year's method of redeeming your tickets). In addition to the tickets you will also receive a Mild Magic t-shirt emblazoned with the Mild Magic logo.

Upping the achievement to complete Mild Magic Extra requires 24 pubs in a total of 24 different areas to be visited, i.e. twice as challenging as Mild Magic. This increases your number of entry tickets/pints to two and the shirt is elevated to a polo shirt, again emblazoned with the Mild Magic logo. This is the most popular target, achieved by around 50 people each year.

Now the stakes get higher - Mild Magic Super - this is a even more challenging. Visit a total of 48 different pubs but they only need to be drawn from 36 different areas (but there is nothing stopping you setting a personal target of 48 areas!) For this you will receive a Mild Magic sweat shirt and three entry tickets to the Festival (or three free pints of mild for CAMRA Members). We hope that this will encourage you to visit pubs new to yourself.

The ultimate challenge is Mild Magic Ultra. To achieve this you need to collect a sticker from all participating pubs. For this you will receive two Mild Magic shirts, both a polo shirt and a sweatshirt plus four Festival entry tickets (or four pints of mild for CAMRA Members).

No matter which of the above you undertake, here is a fun extra challenge, Mild Magic Scrabble. Each participating pub has an associated letter (see table below) randomly selected from A, C, D, G, I, L or M. The challenge is to collect enough stickers on a card to spell out MILD MAGIC (doesn't have to be in sequence but does have to be on the same card) and you will be rewarded with an extra pint at Stockport Beer & Cider Festival (up to a maximum of 2 extra pints). This applies to everyone irrespective of whether you are a CAMRA member or not. If you decide to participate in this extra challenge, can you please help the organiser by indicating the relevant stickers on your card.

EXCLUSIVE FOR 2022
Everyone who participates also has the option of being entered into a draw to take up one of a limited number of invitations to tour the Joseph Holts Brewery on either Thursday 30 June at 3pm or Thursday 7 June but this time at 6pm. [Please indicate the time on your card if you have a preference.] Full meet-up dfetails will be provided along with your invitation if successful.



What do I do when I have finished?

Post all your completed cards to this address: Mild Magic, 10 New Beech Road, Heaton Mersey, Stockport SK4 3DD [also given on the card] to arrive by the 21st of May, 2022 (only one submission per person). Receipt of the cards will be acknowledged electronically, so do remember to include an email address (or mobile phone if no email possessed).



Obtaining your festival ENTRY tickets

Entry tickets will be sent out electronically, so it is important you remember to include an email address (or mobile phone if no email possessed). This communication will constitute your acknowledgement. The dates of the Stockport & South Manchester Beer and Cider Festival have been altered for this year and will now be from June 16 to June 18 2022.
NOTE: Entry tickets are not valid after 5pm on the evening of Friday 17 June.


Collecting your garments

Garments will be dispensed at the Stockport & South Manchester Beer and Cider Festival from the CAMRA Shop. Make sure to bring along the electronic device which you received your confirmation on with you, though assuming this is your mobile phone it probably never leaves your side! If you are unable to attend the Festival an alternative can probably be negotiated by consultation with the organiser via stockportmildmagic@gmail.com. All garments are graced by a bespoke version of the Mild Magic insignia.
