BJCP Unfair (Kevin Cotter) 2. 2nd Call For Judges (Pete Algerio) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Kevin Cotter Date: Sun, 3 Apr 2005 00:42:39 -0700 Subject: BJCP Unfair I would personally love the opportunity to take the BJCP exam, the only problem is that it is impossible to get anybody to come to the state of Arizona and proctor the exam. We have been turned down a few times. For the life of me, I cannot figure out why we can't attract a cold-climate judge to Phoenix for the winter months, or March, when we have the Cactus League MLB Spring Training? Last year, we did have a couple of our club members journey to Los Angeles to take the exam, not all of us could make it. That's a fun one to explain to the wife: "I have to fly to another state, with food and lodging, to take a beer-test." I couldn't make it due to other logistal issues, but she still made a mad chase to buy 40 more pair of shoes to even things out?!?! Just what are the requirments to have the exam proctored anyways? We'll still problably have to spend a thousand bucks traveling to another state to have the opportunity to take the exam.

Brewoff Homebrew competition on May 14th, 2005. Our past years competitions have attracted BJCP Judges from across the U.S. because we take good care of volunteers who come to help us out. Highlights include; morning bagels, a BBQ lunch with several homebrews on tap and a hot buffet in the late afternoon. Our competition day ends with an Award ceremony and raffle.
