Any BJCP Judges in the Crowd?

[FlyGuy]

Just curious how many judges there were on HBT. Or judges-in-prep, for that matter. Feel free to respond to the poll and post a comment. I'll tally it up at the end.

I voted 'BJCP judge-in-training' as my HBC is planning a class this summer and I've been studying extracurricularly in preparation.

I have a lot of palate training to go... but I'd love to be a judge someday, would need to really study for that exam though.

Cool. I am organizing a course for our homebrew club, too. We are doing some preliminary 'info sessions' this spring to get people down the road of self-study, with a full-blown course in the fall. Our exam is scheduled for mid-November. I am going to teach some of the technical aspects of brewing and beer history/geography. The more experienced judges and the pro-brewers in our club are going to do the bulk of the sensory evaluation and basic judging procedures, as well as the in-depth style profiles. I am really looking forward to it, especially since there was no course for me to take locally before I wrote the exam.

Don't worry. I'd love to be a judge and I also wish I was European.
