    I'm no expert on beer styles, but on rare occasions I come across a beer that seems to have been given the wrong label on BA. Do the mods ever correct this when it happens?

    Case in point is Tallgrass Pub Ale. The brewer calls it an English Brown Ale (http://tallgrassbeer.com/pub-ale/?age-verified=b57086d651), but BA lists it as an English Pale Mild Ale. I noticed that several reviews on BA point out that the beer is in fact brown, not pale, and probably mislabeled. Perhaps it is a mild dark ale, but certainly not a pale.

    Just curious.

    Report it, with some sort of background. Changes get made. Sometimes the BA who enters it gets things wrong. :-)

    It is brown, I can attest to that.

    The ticker in me was really hoping it was an English Pale Mild, 'cause I'd never tried that style. But it was dark brown, indeed.
