There are a number of private organisations that offer courses and certification for individuals as a beer sommelier, not always using this term, but one of their own creation.[6] The Guild of Beer Sommeliers is a membership organisation for qualified beer sommeliers, recognising the many certifications available. [7] One of the largest certifications is the "Cicerone" program, which is a registered trademark of the Craft Beer Institute. However, the term has seen usage in a generic sense as well.[8][3]
Beer tasting
Beer tasting is the act of assessing the flavor and quality of beer via the subjective process of sampling the beer. Some organizations provide beer rating systems to quantify the results of beer tasting.
