Seminar instructed by Grand Master beer judge, David Teckam.

Beer Judging 101
This class will open you up to the world of beer judging, and introduce
basic methods and terminology used by beer judges. While tasting, we will
identify aroma, appearance, flavor, and mouthfeel characteristics of the
beer, going over a few specific defects that may occur, and their causes.
Class includes a brief introduction to the Beer Judge Certification Program.
Beginners welcome, no pre-requisite is needed for the 101 class.

Beer Judging 201
While tasting several beers, we’ll discuss attributes, descriptors, and
defects in a little greater depth. We’ll explore some of the finer points of
judging, and what makes a great beer judge. Class members will work on a
BJCP judging sheet as a group, then judge a beer individually, and will
learn about involvement / advancing within the BJCP. Pre-requisite is the
101 class, beer judging / tasting background, or basic knowledge of styles.
