WelcomeWelcome to the Beer Judge School website. We have put together all the information you need to pass the BJCP exam and become a better beer judge. On this site you will find video lessons, preparatory materials, and contact information for getting in touch with an experienced judge to mentor you through the process. Check out the links to the left to each of the lessons.
About Beer Judge School
The Beer Judge School series teaches you what you need to know to pass the Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP) exam and become a better beer judge. Ultimately, all the material serves to support the goals of the Beer Judge Certification Program: “to promote beer literacy and the appreciation of real beer, and to recognize beer tasting and evaluation skills.”
Grand Master Judge David Teckam has been delivering local courses for years training cerevisaphiles to become better judges and to pass the BJCP exam. Realizing that there was a huge demand for structured course material beyond his local area and that many candidates wanted to work at their own pace and schedule, David got together with other dedicated beer judges to put together this video series. Do not be mistaken, this is not a high dollar production in a fancy studio in Hollywood. Rather, this is the best approximation of attending weeks of hand crafted lessons from someone passionate about beer judging and teaching others.

Editable Judge Registration Form
As a time- and effort-saver for competitions, an editable Judge Registration/Waiver form has been created. The competition organizer can fill out the bottom part, e-mail the form, and ask the participants to fill out the top and "save as (judge's name)," then e-mail it to the organizer to print out before judging day. They are to be signed and dated at check-in time on the day of the competition. This allows for more complete and legible information, as well as corrections to be made by the organizer (i.e. "Apprentice" checked instead of "Novice" for the non-BJCP people).
The competition organizer should still have blank hard-copies available.
For the organizer that chooses not to use them, a judge can still have this already filled out and on file, and printed judge before an event. No standing in line waiting for a form; go right to the refreshment table. You can find this in the Additional Resources section of our site.
Much thanks to Brian Cooper for his help with this.
