Would you get away with entering it as a "honey beer" within 18.7 until meads and ciders are recognised?
18.7 Other Specialty [BJCP]
This is explicitly a catch-all category for any beer that does not fit
into an existing style category. No beer is ever “out of style” in this
category, unless it fits elsewhere.
The category is intended for any type of beer, including the
following techniques or ingredients:
Unusual techniques (e.g., steinbier, ice beers)
Unusual fermentables (e.g., maple syrup, honey, molasses,
sorghum)
Unusual adjuncts (e.g., oats, rye, buckwheat, potatoes)
Combinations of other style categories (e.g., India Brown Ale,
fruit-and-spice beers, smoked spiced beers)
Out-of-style variations of existing styles (e.g., low alcohol versions
of other styles, extra-hoppy beers, “imperial” strength beers)
Historical, traditional or indigenous beers (e.g., Louvain
Peetermann, Sahti, vatted Porter with Brettanomyces, Colonial
Spruce or Juniper beers, Kvass, Grätzer)
American-style interpretations of European styles (e.g., hoppier,
stronger, or ale versions of lagers) or other variants of traditional
styles
Clones of specific commercial beers that aren’t good
representations of existing styles
Any experimental beer that a brewer creates, including any beer
that simply does not evaluate well against existing style definitions
This category can also be used as an “incubator” for any minor
world beer style (other than Belgians) for which there is currently
no AABA category. If sufficient interest exists, some of these
minor styles might be promoted to full styles in the future. Some
styles that fall into this grouping include:
Honey Beers (not Braggots) Wiess (cloudy, young Kölsch)
Sticke Altbier Münster Altbier
Imperial Porter Classic American Cream Ale
Czech Dark Lager English Pale Mild
Scottish 90/- American Stock Ale
English Strong Ale Non-alcoholic “Beer”
Kellerbier Malt Liquor
