Beer Judge classes Starting Tues, Jan 3

The Beer Judging class starts this Thursday night at my house, 6pm! Everyone welcome - please RSVP if you can. The first week is the famous "Doctored Beer" seminar - VERY fun! If you have any homebrew that you think represents particularly well one flavor, aroma or sensation - bring it along! (ie, bitter, skunky, vegetal, etc.) - Al Boyce Here is a list of things that you should download and print out for the class: BJCP Member's Guide: http://www.mv.com/ipusers/slack/bjcp/membergd.html BJCP Beer Style Guidelines: http://www.mv.com/ipusers/slack/bjcp/beerstyles.pdf BJCP 1998 Study Guide: http://www.mv.com/ipusers/slack/bjcp/STUDY98.DOC BJCP Judge Instruction Sheet: http://www.mv.com/ipusers/slack/bjcp/Judge_in.pdf BJCP Judging Cover Sheet: http://www.mv.com/ipusers/slack/bjcp/Cover2.pdf BJCP Beer Scoresheet: http://www.mv.com/ipusers/slack/bjcp/scoresheet.pdf BJCP Mead Scoresheet: http://www.mv.com/ipusers/slack/bjcp/meadscore.pdf BJCP Cider Scoresheet: http://www.mv.com/ipusers/slack/bjcp/ciderscore.pdf BJCP Sample Questions: http://www.dnai.com/~thor/dboard/bjcpq.htm Here is the tentative agenda.
