I've written before about my experiences as
an uncertified beer judge, and when the Norwegian homebrewer's
association offered their beer judge certification course again
this year I decided to apply. My goal was to learn more about the beer
brewing process, to improve my ability to analyze beer, and to learn
about specific flaws in beer and how to detect them. If I'd also have
to teach myself the Norwegian beer style guidelines I decided that was
a price I'd be willing to pay.
