Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP)
The Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP) is an organization that aims to promote beer appreciation and education. It provides a structured framework for evaluating and judging beer through a standardized set of guidelines. The program offers certification for individuals who demonstrate knowledge and skills in beer styles, brewing processes, and tasting techniques.
The BJCP also organizes competitions and events, allowing certified judges to assess entries based on established criteria. This helps ensure consistency and quality in beer evaluation, fostering a deeper understanding of the craft beer community and encouraging brewers to improve their products.
