BJCP Tasting Course 2025 - Signup Thread.
Folks, we are organising the BJCP Tasting Course as a lot of people have expressed an interest.
This Course consists of about 6 or 7 style classes via Zoom, a seibel sensory session in person, somewhere central in Ireland - TBA
For those interested we will also aim to have a Mock BJCP Tasting exam and a BJCP tasting exam, you will get plenty of reference material via the student google share to assist your knowledge for the classes.
The Classes will run via zoom most likely wed/thur/fri evening depending on what suits people best
The rough format of each class is a small talk introducing the style, scoring some beers and talking through others, we are going to focus on student participation and feedback, so expect to be asked a lot of questions !
We need to have 12-15 people in each class to make it feasible.
Students will order beer via delivery from an off license we have organised. Students pay for the beer for the class they attend, we usually get some sort of deal.
Clearly if 2 / 3 students can get together, they attend via one zoom session and the can split the beer cost - saving a good bit of money.
On booking, there will be a small fee upfront - about 5 euro per class. Its run as 'not for profit' so basically your instructors beer and tasting kits.
At the end of the course, there is an option of a mock exam and a proper BJCP tasting exam, where you can get certified with BJCP to judge beer competitions. You dont have to do the exam to do the course, the exam and mock exam are charged separately and require an online pre-exam
Here are the rough timelines (to give you a ball park)
classes run Q1 on a week night - we will vote on the nights to maximise instructors and attendees
Please feel free to add you name to the interest list below, if all this interests you.
Please note - if you have already attended the course and just want to brush up on your scoring - please feel free to put your name down for a class or two.
Looking forward to it !!
James
