Taught by Advanced CiceroneĀ® Chris Cohen
Hi there! I'm Chris.Ā I passed the CBS and CC exams in 2013. After that experience, I immediately launched Beer Scholar in 2014 to help you avoid the frustration and anxiety I faced when prepping with the skimpy syllabus. Since then, thousands have used my Beer Scholar materialĀ to crush the Cicerone exams and get certified!
Here's a little more about me: I passed the Advanced Cicerone exam in 2017. I'm also an attorney, a National BJCP beer judge, a co-founder of the SF Homebrewerās Guild, and I wasĀ a partner in aĀ top craft beer joint for 6 years, Old Devil Moon.
I'veĀ passed some difficult tests over the years, including the NY State bar exam for lawyers. I know how to study and I can help you, too!
they passed the exams!
ready to level up your beer smarts?
Avoid the pitfalls I faced, let me be your guide! When I first looked at the thin syllabi for the CBS and CC exams I wasn’t quite sure what to study, what depth of knowledge was required, or what the format of the test would be.
When I took the CBS and CC exams I very nervous, but it turned out I was over prepared! I love learning about beer, but I wish I’d saved study time by focusing only on material that's actually on the exams. I especially would've appreciated help with the CC tasting exam!
Today, I’m an Advanced Cicerone, a National BJCP beer judge, and a full time beer educator. You don't need to guess about what's on the Cicerone exams - I'll help you crush them!
