Please see this article's talk page for my point of view. --Jotel (talk) 15:58, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As we disagree, I've put merge tags on to get a wider perspective. SilkTork *^{What's YOUR point?} 16:28, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Big Hole Brewing Company[edit]

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Big Hole Brewing Company, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Special Barnstar for Big Hole Brewing Company[edit]

		The Outlaw Halo Award
		Since there is apparently no "barnstar of uncommon impartiality", I present you this Outlaw Halo instead. It beats the Special Barnstar any day. Thanks for setting such a good example for others. Zahnrad (talk) 00:49, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply] (about the award)

Pale Ale[edit]

If you count as Pale Ale everything that uses pale malt as a base, then all British beers (including Stout) are Pale Ales. Pale Ale means something quite specific. Beers like Alt, on the other hand, don't use pale malt at all, but have a pilsner malt base. I'm very wary of calling any Continental beer, apart from a few Belgian ones, Pale Ale.Patto1ro (talk) 07:48, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And wheat beers use pale malt as well - but when a brewery adds significant other malts to the beer we class it as a different style. So with a stout, when enough dark malts are added the beer becomes a stout, though there are a number of beers we class as Bitter which contain roasted malts.

What are you using as a definition of Pale Ale? SilkTork *^{What's YOUR point?} 08:13, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
