BJCP Exam

by Bryan Gros

First time fee is $50. Retakes are $15 per section. Date is Saturday, Dec. 6 in Stockton somewhere.

Press release from Dave Sapsis:

Due to a (relatively) unexpected surge in interest for a (again relatively) quick BJCP exam, I am planning on holding an exam in Stockton on Dec. 6 (Saturday). I already have about 12 folks interested, and this does not include anyone form WoW, Malts, MASH, Draught Board, GCBA, Worthogs, Stanislaus Hoppy Cappers, or others (It is basically HAZE, BrewAngels, and Diablo Order of Zymyrical Enthusiasts). I expect as word gets out, and with 4+ months to prepare, the numbers will swell. Please pass this information on to anyone in your club (or otherwise) possibly interested in joining BJCP or retaking the exam.

Please also note: I plan to have two very experienced proctors judge the taste beers without being privy to any ancillary information regarding them. They will only know the same level of information that the test takers have (i.e., what category it is being judged as).

I am aware that Rick Stanton is planning to lead a study group in the Stockton area; if others wish me to assist in assembling materials for such a group, let me know (also, please see the recent article in Brewing Techniques by Scott Bickham on preparing for the exam).

I can be reached at:
