Possible grouping or merge
The major beer writers, such as Michael Jackson, Roger Protz, David Sutula, Charlie Papazian, Laurie Strachan and Stephen Snyder group Mild ale with other brown ales, including Belgium brown ales. I am wondering if this article should be merged with Brown ale and possibly renamed Brown ales or even Brown beers, and then detail the complex history of brown beers leading into sectioned discussion on the related beer styles such as Oud bruin/Flanders brown ale and Mild.

 * Would be inaccurate and misleading. Not all milds are brown ales; a lot of them aren't even brown. Look around and you'll find that even the term "Oud Bruin" describes two very different things in the Netherlands and Belgium. --Stlemur 17:53, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Notable mild ales
Although it may be pointless starting a discussion as this does not appear to be a very active wiki i will... I would like to question the section headed notable mild ales, it is very.... pithy, it is only a list and contains no information or references. i move that it be removed or updated with some information as to why these milds are more notable than any others. —Preceding unsigned comment added by UrbanAnimal (talk • contribs) 12:25, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

I've renamed the secton from "Notable mild ales" to "Examples of mild ales". Which milds are included in the list is still somewhat arbitrary, of course. Daf 07:02, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

I can get a list of all the awards Dark Ruby mild has ever won which would include more notable awards than Cambridge beer fest(not that i'm saying Cambridge beer fest isn't notable, just i'm sure it has won much more prestigious awards)as i used to work at the pub/brewery, if you like, though i'm not sure how these could be referenced, any ideas?

 * If something's included in the list, it should be notable in the first place. Winning a major award (What's major? I don't know.) or being a top seller should both count. That said, it's easy for such a list to get overloaded with entries. As with pale ale the examples should be kept to the strongest few, I think. --Stlemur 17:56, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
