Podcasts about Beer Judge Certification Program

Rachael & Jen discuss the Beer Judge Certification Program and how to advance through its beer judge ranks.

Frank Christian ist passionierter Hobbybrauer, beruflich Biochemiker und damit natürlich prädestiniert für viele spannende Erlebnisse rund um das Bier, vor allem beim Thema Beer Judging, für das er wie kaum ein anderer in Deutschland steht. Hier gehört er zu den aktivsten Posten des us-amerikanischen BJCP, ausgeschrieben Beer Judge Certification Program, dessen Urgestein und Oberjudge Gordon Strong ja bereits Gast im BierTalk war. Vor allem die Style Guidelines haben dieses Hobbybrauerprofessionalisierungsprogramm mittlerweile zum internationalen Standard gemacht - und Frank hilft tatkräftig mit, BJCP auch in Europa voranzubringen. Sein zweites Steckenpferd sind die Kölner Bierhistoriker, mit denen er sich regelmäßig über die Historien und gelebte Kultur des karnevalistischen Goldschlückchens austauscht, viele Gründe also, sich mit dem Rheinländer einmal ausführlich zu unterhalten...

Piwo. Oto wreszcie temat wywiadu licujący z miejscem moich rozmów - pubem "Świetlica Wolności". Artur Napiórkowski, sędzia piwny i ekspert branży browarniczej, tłumaczy w nim, jak to możliwe, że w ciągu zaledwie dekady Polska z krainy płynącej tanimi lagerami zamieniła się w piwny raj, pełen egzotycznych rodzajów piwa. Liczba nowych piw pojawiających się rocznie na rynku przekracza dzisiaj 2 tys., gdy jeszcze przed 2010 r. wynosiła co najwyżej kilkaset. Liczba browarów rzemieślniczych oscyluje wokół 400, gdy przed 2010 r. było ich jeszcze zaledwie kilkadziesiąt. Nad branżą piwną zbierają się czarne chmury - planowane przez rząd podnoszenie akcyzy, a także inflacja producencka, która cenę już i tak drogich piw kraftowych może podnieść wkrótce o nawet kilka złotych za butelkę. W skrócie: - Historycznie rzecz biorąc, to piwo być polskim "alkoholem narodowym" - Rewolucja piwna to fenomen ogólnoświatowy. Liderem jest USA, ale Polska się wyróżnia - Rosnąca akcyza podniesie cenę piw w Polsce, tych z małych browarów mniej, tych z dużych bardziej. Efekt: przeniesienie konsumpcji na alkohole wysokoprocentowe - Koszty inflacji producenckiej (głównie rosnące ceny słodu) duszą marżowość branży piwnej - Polska jako jedyny kraj w Unii Europejskiej zakazuje sprzedaży piwa przez internet Artur Napiórkowski - jeden z najbardziej doświadczonych sędziów piwnych i cydrowych w Polsce, certyfikowany przez Polskie Stowarzyszenie Piwowarów Domowych oraz Beer Judge Certification Program. Obecnie współpracuje głównie z browarem Maryensztadt oraz współtworzy agencję kreatywnę thirst.pl, której głównym obszarem działalności jest piwo rzemieślnicze. Felietonista w magazynie Piwowar, jedynym polskim periodyku o piwie i piwowarstwie. Pracował też przy organizacji Warszawskiego Festiwalu Piwa, gdzie odpowiadał za organizację strefy warsztatowej i sceny festiwalowej.

Gordon Strong was inspired by friends to take up home brewing, launching a veritable hobbyist career. He quickly found his way to the BJCP, the Beer Judge Certification Program, until he became its president. In the interim, others have taken the helm, but Gordon has kept his pet project, the evolution of the Style Guidelines, to himself. As Grandmaster Judge, he travels the world gathering the information that keeps the compendium alive. In the podcast, he tells his story and also explains the background of the BJCP and how all beer lovers can contribute to the Style Guide....

In this Prepisode, Julia Herz and Jeremy Storton overview beer style guidelines including the Beer Judge Certification Program's and Brewers Association's guidelines, and how to use them as they were intended. Sense of Beer Style is the essential beer-style training for those who want to lead in food and beverage. The Sense of Beer Style is brought to you by a collaboration of Herzmuses and Good Beer Matters.

This week, Beer Sessions Radio welcomes two homeschooled brewers — Jeff Lyons from Endless Life Brewing in Brooklyn, and Jaega Wise from Wild Card Brewery in East London, who also happens to be the author of “Wild Brews.” The gang will bang out lessons on homebrewing and sour beers, before revealing the secrets to the water section of Jaega's latest book. The episode starts with Jaega's and Jeff's introduction to the homebrewing world as well as their backgrounds outside of the beer industry. While Jaega grew up in the Midland region in UK, noted for Burton-on-Trent, with a CAMRA beer festival as her first, Jeff hung out with the Beer Judge Certification Program gang in the back room of Jimmy's No. 43. Jaega also shared her unexpectedly perfect journey to beerdom, studying chemical engineering and going to water school for her previous job in water treatment. She went on to explain the keys to controlling what she considers the most underappreciated ingredient in brewing — water. The gang then goes deeper into sour beer and the history of homebrewing, with Jimmy admitting to only being able to make “the no hygiene beer” inspired by the Victorian era's Tudor. They also discuss the revival of cask beers along with the brewing scene in London, with a tiny surprise about water in Scotland and whisky distilling. Grab your headset and listen in on the secrets right now!Photo Courtesy of Jaega Wise.Heritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network.

There's a difference between idols and mentors. The allure of idols is their unattainability—their preciousness fueled by the impossibility of a first-hand connection. Mentors, on the other hand, spark curiosity and encourage personal growth by sharing their experience with others. Mentors, often selflessly, help shape the future, and ensure the traditions they hold so dear remain intact for generations to come.  That's exactly why writer Alexander Gates decided to profile Cindy Goldstein, a national BJCP judge and fierce advocate for craft beer in Hawaii. In his piece titled “Finding Her Own Route — A Honolulu Brewery Crawl with Cindy Goldstein,” which was published on February 2, 2022, he outlines Cindy's extensive background in science, homebrewing, judging, and community-building, and how her efforts have helped shape the small but ever-changing Hawaiian craft beer scene. In today's conversation about that piece, Alexander and I discuss what it's like writing about a mentor (and why people should seek out their own), why he decided to share her story, how Hawaiian beer is better than ever—despite the pandemic's massive disruption to tourism and the supply chain—and his own judging experience through the Beer Judge Certification Program. You'll hear how beer unites the chain of volcanic islands, thanks in no small part to Cindy's tireless and ongoing efforts, and what he's hoping to see as in-person beer classes, events, and competitions begin to awaken once more.

Today on the Utah Beer News Podcast you’ll hear from one of Utah’s relatively few certified beer judges. Jae Vanderwerf, who grew up in Portland and who spent some time in Minnesota, is no stranger to vibrant beer towns. When she arrived in Salt Lake about 18 months ago, she immediately fell in love with the craft beer scene here. Even before landing in Utah, Jae had passed a pair of tests as part of the Beer Judge Certification Program. That’s to say, she had already earned her stripes as a certified beer judge. In 2020, Jae sought a way to give back to the beer — specifically, the homebrew —  community that had given her so much joy. So, she began teaching a class to share her exemplary beer-tasting knowledge with others. In this episode of the podcast we talk about: Jae’s passion for craft beer and homebrewing What it takes—step-by-step—to properly judge a beer And how you can deepen your appreciation for craft beer by participating in a tastings class By the way, stay tuned—in an upcoming “Bonus” episode, Jae will take Utah Beer News listeners along for the ride as she judges a local craft beer. Thank you to Jae for taking the time to talk with Utah Beer News. And thank you for listening. If you enjoy this type of storytelling, it would mean a lot if you could please leave a review on your podcast platform of choice. For an accompanying article, please visit UtahBeerNews.com. And now, let’s dive right in to learn more about Jae Vanderwerf, BJCP Certified Judge. Enjoy the episode! Episode 41 | November 10, 2020

In this live recording we discuses various topics surrounding sour styles in the BJCP and other beer style guidelines, the Cicerone perspective, and much more.  Check out Pints and Panels , Edmnud's Oast and Beer Judge Certification Program.

Welcome to the Good Beer Hunting Collective podcast, the show where members of our team interview each other to get a behind-the-scenes look at some of our favorite articles. I’m Ashley Rodriguez, and I produce Good Beer Hunting's podcast. In my past life, as a barista and coffee writer, one of the questions I struggled with was an essential one: what does it mean for coffee to be considered "specialty?" What makes the coffee from your local cafe different than what's in the can at your grocery store? Although there is a technical definition for "specialty" coffee, there are also a thousand other questions to ask. What do customers like? Which coffees grow well in an ever-changing global climate? How do ethics play into the definition? Likewise, I imagine "craft beer" is equally muddy—difficult to define explicitly, but something that most beer drinkers can still identify on sight. In this episode, I talk to freelance writer Paige Latham Didora. Paige is based in Minneapolis, and recently wrote a story for Good Beer Hunting about Vine Park Brewing Company, the first Hmong-American brewery in the nation. Along with telling the story of Vine Park's founding—from its past as a contract brewery to its new lease on life after the brand was taken over by four Hmong-American entrepreneurs—we also talk about what it means to be a craft brewery. For example, the Beer Judge Certification Program recognizes 34 styles of beer, and while it's not an exhaustive catalog, roughly half the styles that are recognized are European in origin. Where does that leave beer styles from other parts of the world—like Asian Rice Lager, in this case—not just in terms of representation, but in regard to the identity or value we assign them? Paige's article not only tells the story of an upstart brewery, but pushes the reader to think critically about how definitions are made, and what it means to be a craft brewer. But first, I spend a little time getting to know Paige better, learning what drew her to Vine Park and its founders, and talking about how to make a beer menu that's designed to serve a specific community. Here's Paige.

The Beer Judge Certification Program, or BJCP, works to categorize the world’s beer styles so that homebrewers can submit their brews for feedback on how well they hit the targets. These same beer style guidelines have become widely accepted as the go-to style authority because they are specific and also give us a way to communicate about beer. However, defining these styles is quite a challenge due to natural variation within a style. Even more, some styles pose another challenge because they are really similar and are differentiated only by geography, culture, or slight nuance. My next guest returns to the Good Beer Matters Podcast from episode 6 where he taught us how to be a better taster. In this episode, we discuss what we can learn from the BJCP and how to discern the difference between very similar styles. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jeremy-storton/message

Michael and Chris catch up, with Michael briefly giving a glimpse to his next homebrewing project. They retouch on Michael's beer psychology experience over the past week. Michael then does a live taste test of a friend's Black Saison, a French farmhouse style beer, giving you listeners a good base experience as to how a training cicerone might evaluate a beer. Chris questions how the process works, and the guys are able to meet in the middle to help understand how it works. Michael recommends the Beer Judge Certification Program app as a supplemental resource while tasting beer. Let us know how you evaluate your beer!Finally, Michael runs the gauntlet again for the second rendition of Tripel B, or Blindfolded Beer Badge. They encourage you all to try this one!

Jeff Anderson is a craft beer renaissance man. As a certified beer judge through the Beer Judge Certification Program and homebrewer, Jeff has tasted both the good and bad sides of beer. Jeff and Grady talk about homebrewing, the state of craft beer in Nebraska, and what it takes to be a BJCP judge.The Nebraska Beer:30 Podcast is beer-centered entertainment focused on people who are doing great things in Nebraska. #NEBeer30https://www.Facebook.com/NEBeer30https://www.Twitter.com/NEBeer30https://www.instagram.com/nebeer30https://www.teespring.com/stores/nebeer30store

The Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP) was founded in 1985 to "to promote beer literacy and the appreciation of real beer, and to recognize beer tasting and evaluation skills." The approach to gain this certification is very hands on. Ben Hunter, Sales Manager for Denizens Brewing Co. and Certifed Beer Judge explains the process of studying for the certification. We dive into what it's like to judge a beer competition, and how to start judging beer.

2-27-18 Tonight we're mixing it up a bit, with a regular guest, and an AMMA Mead Conference Speaker. Julie Lawson and Kristen England will be here with the BJCP, and Adam Crockett, owner of Haymaker Meadery, talking about mead and oak. Kristen is a medical doctor. And spent some time overseas pursuing his studies, where he discovered awesome beer. Upon returning to the U.S., England began homebrewing. He passionately pursued his hobby even as he attended graduate school at the University of Minnesota. “I got into homebrewing big time,” he says. “I brewed thousands of batches of beer. Every day, even after work, I was brewing beer, no matter what.” In addition to brewing, he continued researching his new craft. He’d drive or fly all over just to taste different beer and get as much information as he could. “People love throwing the word ‘passion’ around, but they don’t understand what it means,” he says. “It’s doing as much as you possibly can when you’re not on the clock to do it. I’ve always been someone who wants to learn as much as he can about everything.” In his pursuit to know more, England attended a class to become a beer judge through the Beer Judging Certification Program. He was underwhelmed by the experience and particularly frustrated that there were no educational guidelines for instructors. Not one to sit on the sidelines, he took action. “I used to write grants all the time for grad school, so I wrote up a 20-page thing and submitted it,” he says. “I didn’t ask permission, I just thought, ‘We need this. I will do it.’” That’s how his eight-year tenure as the BJCP’s educational director started. From 2004 to 2012, he built the BJCP educational program with the help of two assistants, became a Grand Master Judge, taught classes, and helped rewrite the BJCP style guidelines.He is now the Education and Training Liaison for the BJCP. Julie has been making beer, wine, mead and cider since 2008. Like many others, she started Home brewing after receiving a department store home brew kit (which was never actually used). She joined a local club but still wanted to learn so much more about the whole process, so when classes for the Beer Judge Certification Program were being offered she attended, took the exam and have been a judge since January 2009. In 2013 she completed a Mead training course and took/passed the exam She currently is National Ranked BJCP with a Mead Endorsement. She's very interested in the education aspect home brewing and judging. Not everyone has have local clubs or seasoned brewers they can reach out to for assist or questions. She would like to see more reliable source of education that is easily accessible to learners at all levels. She has assisted with BJCP and Mead Judging classes in Milwaukee and am currently facilitating a 7 part series in Oshkosh, WI. And Julie is member of the BJCP staff serving as Assistant Education Director under the Education and Training Directorate. Julie lives in Fond du Lac Wisconsin and her primary club is Milwaukee Beer Barons. Our second guest tonight is Adam Crockett, owner of Haymaker Meadery. Adam has been working in the barrel industry for the last 4 years selling barrels to breweries, wineries, and meaderies all over the US and Canada. He has worked with large breweries like Allagash and Jolly Pumpkin and small local breweries in every corner. He has worked directly with distilleries and wineries to provide the best barrels available. He has helped many breweries build up their barrel program and has helped a number of breweries win GABF medals because of his barrel knowledge. He hopes to share his knowledge that he has collected and help meaderies take the step into barrel aging meads. He also owns Haymaker Meadery who does a number of barrel aged meads. In this talk we will cover barrels, barrel alternatives, and care for your vessels. Get your AMMA tickets at amma.brownpapertickets.com

 11-28-17 This is our last show of 2017! We go on our December break after this, and will return in January with new, fantastic shows! To finish 2017, we will be talking with Steve Fletty, two time Meadmaker of the Year at the National Homebrew Competition, and a member of the St. Paul Homebrew Club in St. Paul, Minnesota. Fletty has also won two Minnesota State Fair Best of Show awards (for a Russian Imperial Stout and Saison), as well as 2009 Midwest Homebrewer of the Year. While he enjoys brewing beer and making cider, mead is his serious passion. Fletty has been making mead since 2002, when he was introduced to it at a Beer Judge Certification Program study class. “Even though mead wasn’t yet a part of the exam, we did a mead tasting night with 60 meads, not kidding,” he said. “Most sucked, but two of them blew my mind. I thought, ‘I need to make that!’” One was a mesquite chipotle mead—Fletty convinced the guy who made it to divulge his secrets, and he went on to win medals with his own version. The other was a commercial pyment (fermented with a blend of honey and grapes/grape juice). Fletty’s research and hard work to replicate it won him his first Meadmaker of the Year award in 2007. In 2016, he won his second honor as Meadmaker of the Year, in large part because of his Best of Show mead called Holy Cacao, a specialty mead made with cacao nibs, Dutch cocoa, and vanilla bean.

What is Homesteading? Better yet, what the hell is Permaculture? Imagine turning your grassy spaces into lush vegetable gardens which reduce the amount of water used and provide you with a fresh goods and a cut off your grocery bill. Throw in some chickens and you’ve got yourself a sustainable mini-farm. In essence, it’s a touch of terraforming that can provide you with not only an excellent hobby outdoors, but also provide you with a bit of self sustainability. Imagine fresh miniature orchards in your front yard and delicious unadulterated vegetables in your back yard. Rather than wasting water on grass that has no purpose you’ve developed a skill that you can share with others and pass on to your kids. Not only that, but how about growing your own hops and herbs for your homebrewing? Heck yeah! Jared Gatti has become a successful Homesteader and award winning Homebrewer in the past couple of years and shares a bit of his story. As a good friend of ours we have a couple of beers and discuss his view on Homesteading as well as where he derives his resources and knowledge. We show you the forward thinking he’s developed toward transforming his gardens and quarter-acre plot of land into seasonal treasures he and his wife both tend to. We also take a look at his recent success at amateur homebrewing and where his inspiration originated from. He provides you with a few resources to get you started and talks about his take on brewing and thoughts on previous competitions. Pack up a picnic kiddies, because this podcast is only the beginning of several we’ll have with Mr. Gatti in the realms of successful homebrewing, homesteading, business recruiting/HR and marriage.
