The topic is beer tasting and beer judging. Barry Madore and co-host Jason Pattit are joined by BJCP-certified beer judge, Casey Frid to talk about:

what is a beer judge and how do you become one?

the process of beer tasting and judging including key vocab

what is the BJCP?

Along the way we simulate an actual beer judging session and, of course, we begin with our usual "What Are We Drinking" segment and end the episode sharing a tune from a favorite local band – this month it's "Stepping Stone" by the Latin Billies.

 

As always they recorded their conversation live in the loft lounge at Yoerg Brewing Company in St. Paul.

 

We'd love to hear from you. Email the host, Barry Madore – [email protected] – with comments, questions, suggestions. Thanks and tell your friends to check us out.
