Subject: New topic 


Since I've been having to PgDn a lot recently, let me offer up a new topic. 
  There was a post in today's HBD about whether there was a need for tasters 
who would taste a beer critically for a small sum.  As always I wanted to 
jump in and offer to taste it for free.  The few times I've done this I have 
never been taken up on the offer.  It's easy to see why--I look like a 
smart`at`$$ asking for a free beer.  However, being a reasonably experienced 
judge I know the beer I would receive will be no picnic and I really mean it 
as an offer of help.

Perhaps the BJCP could have a page on the web site where BJCP judges could 
give addresses or contact info if they were willing to judge beers sent to 
them for troubleshooting purposes?  Even if addresses weren't given it could 
be listed by state so that "clients" could choose nearby judges.

Discuss.
