What does it take to be a beer judge?
From constantly tasting, understanding styles, and looking for the intangibles there is a lot to consider when evaluating beers at competition.
With the 2022 Great American Beer Festival and the 2022 Canada Beer Cup in the rearview mirror, but the 2023 World Beer Cup on the horizon our hosts talk about their own judging experiences and bring on two veterans - Sandy Cokerham and Mitch Steele - to talk about how to become a smarter and experienced judge.
