We will have our annual Beer Judging 101 event for San Francisco Beer Week on Sunday February 13th at The Englander. This is the same location as the previous years. Details are here, and we are getting close to sold out. Using www.beerbybart.com is a safe way to go should you attend.
This year also marks the first time for the judging seminar for Sacramento Beer Week. This is their second year for their beer week, and Lockdown Brewery’s tasting room in Rancho Cordova is reserved for Saturday March 5th. Sign up here. The light rail in Sacramento is just around the corner from the location.
Hope to see you there.

With the start of my last preparatory course for a while, I will be making a switch to online teaching, maybe for a couple of years. This is meant to help those who are beyond the range of classes that might be offered by a homebrew club. Some people will travel a hundred miles or so for an exam, but that is usually not reasonable for proper exam preparation. Once the syllabus on this site is updated, the details for my online course will be more clear. This will be in Need Help.
There is no enrollment time. It will be a matter of potential examinees finding an exam and giving the contact person (go to Need Help to see the list of scheduled exams), and themselves, proper notice. All one would need to do is to allow themselves about three months for studying with me, and to have the commitment to do this.
I will be teaching my current group of students through mid-November. After that, I will be ready to take on more students. I am careful not to overwhelm myself, and I have a track record for exam success. Some students I did not meet until exam day, but they all passed. You can contact me for more information if you are interested.
