Club President, Steve Arnold, led a "If you like beer, you can judge beer" presentation. Everyone present was given the BJCP Style Guidelines for an American Pale Ale and a score sheet to sample a locally available example. Then they compared their results with actual judges from a Commercial Calibration in an issue of Zymergy magazine. It was a great experience and everyone learned that they can judge beer!
