Awesome, now I can finally enter my hemp banana spaghetti marinara white stout sour in the correct category
Ok…let’s cut them some slack. Let us at least allow them the “Flavor Of The Day”, or “Beer Du (sic) Jure”.Brewers are free to brew whatever they wish, with complete disregard for traditional norms or guidelines.
I wonder what category Lil Nas X entered Old Town Road in? Food, drink, music, movies, plays, literature are all subjective art forms that change with time. Categorizing them is a near impossible task and I am sure a thankless endeavor.
Remember, the Style Guidelines are just that "guidelines". You can diverge a bit from them if you feel it makes the beer better. You can also add comments in the Brewer's Specifics section that will guide the judges in competition when they evaluate the beer.I said this before, I entered an American Brown Ale in a recent competition that I brewed to a higher ABV and higher IBU's to balance it. The beer won gold and I got my highest ever score with a 43.

And then there are those brewers who may be newer to the hobby of just less knowledgeable who take the guidelines as gospel.
