	Beer Judge Certification Program - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Beer Judge Certification Program or BJCP is a non-profit organization formed in 1985 "to promote beer literacy and the appreciation of real beer, and to recognize beer tasting and evaluation skills." The BJCP certifies and ranks beer judges through an examination and monitoring process.
		In its early years, BJCP judges and the BJCP style guidlines were used almost exclusively by amateurs (homebrewers), but the demand for experienced and credentialed beer judges in competitions among commercial breweries has grown substantially in recent years.
		Judges are not normally compensated for their service at a competition, although incidental expenses may be reimbursed.

		When judges are allowed to pour their own beers, there is some danger that moving bottles to the evaluation table will stir up yeast and that judges' opinions of a beer's quality will be influenced by the appearance of the bottles that it comes in.
		When a beer is cold, it may be necessary to swirl the beer in the cup, warm the beer by holding it between your hands, or putting your hand on the top of the cup to allow the volatiles to accumulate in a great enough concentration to be detected.
		Judges should continually improve their abilities to detect flavors that are in beer, their abilities to use appropriate words to describe those perceptions, and their knowledge of the sources of those flavors so that brewers can be provided with accurate and informative feedback concerning how to improve recipes and brewing procedures.
