    Pumpkin beers are one of my favorite styles and I love to keep track of how many different I've been able to try. One thing I've noticed is that several pumpkin beers are classified under other styles (pumpkin stout listed under stout, pumpkin barleywine listed under barleywine).

    Based off of this line from the BA description of the style, I'm under the impression that these should all be classified as pumpkin beers.

    "Whether you’re interested in trying pumpkin amber ales, IPAs or pumpkin stouts, there are plenty of options from American craft brewers for you to explore."

    Thoughts?

    I'd be happy to help submit updates for some of these, mainly because I want to have all of my pumpkin reviews listed together :grin:.

    I would agree that these beers belong in the Pumpkin Beer category.

    Yeah I agree. It’s up to whoever lists the beer. For example, ST’s Warlock is listed an imp stout, but Elysian’s Dark O’ The Moon is listed as a pumpkin beer. The suggest an edit tool is helpful
