Congratulations are in order for Steve Piatz, who has just achieved the rank of Grand Master II in the Beer Judge Certification Program! There are only a half-dozen or so GM II's in the country. The Grand Master level can only be achieved by extensive service to the BJCP, in addition to having accumulated 100 judging and non-judging points. GM II requires 200 judging and non-judging points, and a doubling of service to the BJCP over Grand Master. Good work Steve!
