I’ve done personal reviews before, and they’re fun, but preferences are fickle. So much of how you enjoy a beer depends on your mood, the weather, what you’ve eaten or drank before it, the setting, etc. I don’t want to do that anymore. Plus, since qualifying as a BJCP judge, I need to keep practicing my judging skills. To do that, I need to regularly sit with a beer and compare it to the style guideline. Also, not many other beer blogs focus solely on BJCP judging, so there’s that.

While judging is always subjective, this method takes out as much of the preference-subjectivity as possible and focuses more on aroma description, flavour identification, and brewing technique suggestions.
