Really enjoyed that section! Hope it comes back soon.
Yes, it was a bit of a disappointment that it was pared down from 4 judges/beer to 2 judges/beer and was completely dropped in the current issue.
Comparing the judges’ commentary to each other as well as well as to our own impressions was very beneficial for improving our judging skill set. Please bring it back.
Agreed. I used their vocabulary when I took the tasting exam, because the word choices were so precise and helpful.
I also enjoyed the Commercial Calibration section in Zymurgy. It was a helpful tool/resource for people interested in becoming beer judges. I found it interesting to read the differences and similarities in the judging comments.
I miss it too as I really enjoyed writing for it. Cheers, y’all.
