Subject: re:Continuing Education Program 


I've been thinking about this for a few months and
the post about the CEP makes me ask...
If "This means your clubs' annual pubcrawl, your club meetings, group 
brewing sessions, BJCP prep courses and special events can all 
qualify.";  then how about the situation where a brew shop owner
that surely educates more new brewers, teaches more people
about styles than most judges? Can credit be given for the poor
working stiff that keeps you supplied with fresh grain and hops?
I personally haven't been able to judge many competitions since
opening my store. Occasionally am able to nip in and catch a
BOS round after closing but that relies on a competition running
late and actually being able to shove people out the door at my
true closing time.
 Heck, if a club meeting counts as service to the BJCP, teaching
a few dozen brewers a year surely counts for something.

Just had to ask,
                            NL
