FW: BJCP Written Proficience Exam - 9/8/2013 - Minneapolis

by Al Boyce

I still have five seats left for the BJCP Written Proficiency Exam being held in Minneapolis on Sept 8. If you are interested, send me a check to reserve your seat. Drop me a line if you have questions. Feel free to forward to any other BJCP'er that you think might be interested. I'd like to fill the exam up. Thanks! - Al _____ From: Al Boyce [mailto:alboyce@comcast.net] Sent: Friday, June 21, 2013 1:35 PM To: sax7piper(a)gci.net Subject: BJCP Written Proficiency Exam - 9/8/2013 - Minneapolis I am hosting a BJCP Written Proficiency Exam for the North Region of the BJCP on September 8, 2013 at 10am in Minneapolis, MN. To qualify to take the BJCP Written Proficiency Exam, you must have a score of at least 80% on the Tasting exam, and have accumulated at least 10 judging points. The exam consists of two sections. The first section is 20 T/F questions, where each wrong answer results in a 0.5 point deduction from your overall exam score. The second section consists of five essay questions. Each of these questions is worth 20 points. As you probably know, the BJCP judge advancement system has changed. Now the tasting portion of your score counts for 50% of your total score, where it used to only count for 30% of your written score. Based on this, with your current best Tasting score, you would need to score of 99 on the Written exam to advance to Master. You need 40 points for Master, half of which must be Judging Points. You can find the study guide for the new exam at: http://www.bjcp.org/docs/BJCP_Study_Guide.pdf Some people have found the BJCP Exam for Dummies useful in studying for this test also. The 2010 version is currently published on the BJCP website. This was published prior to the new exam. It can be found at: http://www.bjcp.org/docs/BJCP_Study_Guide.pdf If you'd like the 2012 version, let me know and I'll email you a copy. I only have 5 seats remaining for this exam, so it's first come, first served. To reserve your seat for the exam, send a non-refundable check for $15 payable to me. I will let you know immediately if you are one of the 5. I will return any checks that come in after that. Al Boyce, BJCP North Rep 3208 Edgewood Ave S St.Louis Park, MN 55426 alboyce(a)comcast.net 763-412-6836 (cell) If you have any questions, let me know! Email is best, but I answer my cell also!

FW: Judges & Stewards needed for the 2nd Nordeast Big River Homebrew Competition

by Gera Exire La Tour

Esteemed judges, stewards and beer aficionados, The Nordeast Brewers Alliance is again hosting the Nordeast Big River Homebrew Competition in conjunction with the Nordest Big River Brew Fest. Last year we had a great time running our first BJCP competition and couldn't have done it without your help along the way. We had over 150 entries last year, and expect even more this year. The competition is beer only, with the addition of the specialty categories American Wild Ale and 100% Brett. We hope to again bring out the funk and unleash the wild ales. Standard BJCP judging points will be awarded based on sessions judged or stewarded, and we will be providing food and refreshments during the judging. Registration for competition judging/stewarding is open Aug 21-Sep 28.at nordeasthbc.brewcompetition.com . Please sign up if you can volunteer. All Judging will be done at the East Side Neighborhood Services, 1700 2nd St NE, Minneapolis. Judging sessions will be Oct 12 and 13, from 10-4:30, broken into AM and PM shifts. BOS judging will be held Oct 13. All winners will be announced at the Nordeast Big River Brew Fest on Saturday Oct 19. I hope to have a great cast of judges and stewards just like last year. Your help makes or breaks the competition, so thanks in advance! Please pass this email along to anyone who might be interested in helping out. Cheers, Tyler Bye Competition Organizer Nordeast Brewers Alliance **Your email was obtained via the active judges list from the BJCP**

More help needed for Byggvir's Contest on August 24 & 25

by Gera Exire La Tour

We are on our way to a record setting number of entries for Byggvir's Big Beer Cup! I would love to have more judges and stewards sign up to help out. People with limited judging experience will be paired with judges who have taken the BJCP exam. (This is the perfect first contest to learn about home brew judging!) We are judging on-site at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival on Saturday, August 24 and Sunday, August 25th. You get in to the Fest for free on the day(s) you help out and I try to leave plenty of time for you to enjoy the events. Please sign up on the website: www.rennfestbeercup.com We are making the judging schedules and door list from the website. If you have any questions, please send me an email. I hope to see you there! Gera Exire LaTour Co-Organizer P.S. If I missed anyone who is interested in helping out, please pass this email to him/her. Thanks!
