The Eve of the Big Test
Tomorrow morning is the big Beer Judge Certification Program test. Three hours of writing. Ten questions. Four beers. This is the culmination of 14 weeks of tasting, studying, reading, brewing. I am so tired of all this. Tomorrow it will stop - after noon.
It feels like my whole life is on hold. Well actually, it is, I have delayed/subverted a whole bunch of stuff to make lots of time to get this thing right.
It has been a LONG time since I went through testing like this. Sixteen years in fact. After thinking about it, I realized that you have to do it this way, because no one in their right mind would be this obsessed with beer for the last 14 weeks to learn this much. Now the brewing world will have at least one more Real Beer evangalist, and card carrying member.
Even after all this, I probably love beer even more than before.
