After weeks and weeks of waiting, I finally woke up this morning to an email declaring me a Certified Cicerone®! What is a Cicerone? A Cicerone is the beer equivalent of a wine sommelier. Basically, you need to be an expert in beer styles, beer and food pairing, the brewing process, sanitation techniques and the history of different beer styles. It is a grueling test to say the least, but after studying for months, I can officially call myself a Certified Cicerone®. If you have an interest in becoming certified or just want to learn more about beer, check out the program's website at www.cicerone.org.
