Huge shout out to my buddies at the Beer Scholar! They helped me at every step of the way to pass the AC exam. Their honest and critical feedback about how I could improve my essays, build up my beer vocabulary, and more effectively demonstrate my skills and knowledge to the graders was key. Scott's training was challenging but he helped me grow my technical and consumer descriptive vocabulary, off flavor compound knowledge, and blind style identification. If you're serious about passing the Advanced Cicerone exam I highly recommend the Beer Scholar coaching program!
