I'm on that - Basically where we are ..

We are organising 6 sessions over the summer - roughly one every two weeks with a gap here and there

We wont taste every style, but target a few and concentrate on getting good scoresheets filled out.
There will be an exam tasting at the end of each class, in which will use exam scoresheets and conditions.

Roughly starting end of may - rolling to end of august.

These sessions will start with an off-tasting. Then there will be 5 sessions where 6 beers are evaluated per session.

We are going to pick 8 weekends and two will be voted out by the majority.

Depending on numbers we might run an additional off-tasting at the end for those who dont make the first one.

The price per session is roughly 15 euro for members and 18 euro for non-members.

This will cover the price of the beer/ tasting kits.
You dont need to attend every session, you pay for what you can attend, but the off-tasting is strongly advisable.

There is an additional price for the exam - but for the moment we are just going to take a deposit from the people going on the course. People on the course are guarenteed a seat for the exam.

BJCP in the UK have kindly offered to assist with the proctoring of the exam.

We are currently targetting mid to the end of september.

The current Venue is The Black Sheep. We have teachers for 5 of the 6 classes

I will  confirm prices and get a date list going once I have spoken to all the helpers and people giving the classes.

Also - I will liase with The HopBomb and JohnRM for Cork and Galway - see if we can get the same classes run roughly the same all over the country.

Anyways - thats where we are at !

Hi Patridge,

Any idea yet as to what time of day this would be held at or how roughly how long each session would take? Would be interested to attend but as free time is at a premium it would depend on the timing?

[Shane Phelan]

I see the finalised set of guidelines are now published. http://www.bjcp.org/

[Will_D]

We need to decide (and check with BJCP) if this exam will be to old or new style guide!

Also for our competitions when are WE going to adopt the new guidlines?
