Of course, one of the best (and most enjoyable) things that you can do to maintain your judging skills is to continually practice by sampling a variety of beers and brewing your own beers. In addition to visiting pubs and microbreweries, you can sample homebrew regularly by attending homebrew club meetings. Entering beers in competitions is also a practical way to compare your flavor perception and troubleshooting skills with those of experienced judges. You can also brush up on your judging skills by coordinating tasting sessions and mini-competitions with other judges or by sampling beers that have been “doctored” to. | BJCP BEER EXAM STUDY GUIDE Last Revised August 28 2012 Contributing Authors Original document by Edward Wolfe Scott Bickham David Houseman Ginger Wotring Dave Sapsis Peter Garofalo Chuck Hanning.
