British - apparently some US company stole my name
It's a 9-day course at Doemens : https://www.watersommelier-union.com/water-sommelier/#training
Randomly, I've actually been to that restaurant in the past, before it went quite so la-di-da. The irony is that the local water is great, it comes from rain on gritstone and straight into the reservoir so there's little to it - 50ppm CaCO3 equivalent, 23ppm Ca, <15ppm Cl, 25ppm SO4. Who needs RO?
[put SK11 9HF into https://www.unitedutilities.com/help-and-support/your-water-supply/your-water/water-quality/ for the full report]
But they're out in the country and our drink-driving laws are reasonably well enforced so I guess they're trying to work some wine-like margins on non-alcoholic drinks.

"working alongside certified British water sommelier"
dang, @doug293cz beat me to it
but, still begs the question, does Ward Labs have to worry about us brewers seeking alternatives to that darned pesky scientificalistic water testing?

From the link to the water sommelier website: 'Persons who aspire to the title “Water Sommelier” and do not have the time to attend the nine-day water sommelier course at Doemens Savour Academy can also obtain this coveted title in a three-part, modular programme.'
"coveted title"? The pretentiousness just drips.

So this morning I'm sitting in my truck on the second floor of a parking structure and hear a bunch of yelling. I look out and down to the street and see a tall black man in tighty whiteys and white cowboy boot walking down the middle of the street. Not to far out of normal for California, but then I see this:
Lil Nas X 'hospitalized for possible overdose' after being filmed roaming streets in underwear and cowboy boots at 4am
Welcome to California!

Pah, never mind pop stars, in Britain that's the kind of behaviour you get on a scheduled flight - by the crew.

There's a reason that British Airways has the callsign "Speedbird"...

Thunder dome after dark.
Maybe put high-powered lasers in their little bunny eyes and zap those suckers.

Maybe they could make the robot rabbits so they would explode if ingested.
Not really a good idea, as some people would then want to collect them for nefarious purposes.

I had no idea he was that old. I can see him in my mind right now, riding the Long Trail with his buddy, Butch Cassidy.

The Paralympic champion brewing beer for gold goal
If Dan Pembroke isn't at the track, you will probably find him at his allotment. It is where the first seed of an idea grew into something far greater; an initial enjoyment of growing hops and dabbling with home brew kits has bloomed into an actual beer with his name on the can.In the lead-up to last year's Paralympics, Pembroke started brewing 'Paris Gold', as a physical representation of what he wanted and ultimately would go on to achieve in the French capital.
Now Pembroke - a two-time Paralympic and world champion in the F13 javelin, for athletes with a visual impairment - has a new brew in the works that he hopes can have the same effect for his compatriots heading to the colder climates of the 2026 Winter Olympic and Paralympics in Italy....
How could I manifest what I want out in Paris? "I want to get the gold medal, I want it to be in Paris, and I want to hold up a beer to celebrate what I've done."
After his success in Paris, Pembroke's home brewing caught the attention of a craft brewery, which has worked with the 34-year-old to produce it on a commercial scale. His new Milan beer will be an Italian pilsner using West Coast hops, as a nod to the next summer Games in Los Angeles.
