As part of 'Culture de la Biere,' a special event hosted by Metier Brewing and the Chicago Brewseum, Jackie Dodd will give you the tools to become your very own cicerone.

Intro to Cicerone:

Jackie Dodd will go into detail about how to take the first level of the test (certified beer server), what to know, and everything you’ll need to pass. We will study the material that will be covered in the exam, giving you a clear idea of what questions will be covered in the exam. This workshop is intended to help prepare people for the Cicerone Certified Beer Server exam with directions and details about its content, questions and how to take the class online on your own.

Great beer service starts with fundamentals: beer clean glassware, a proper pour, and beer that hasn’t been ruined by improper handling and beer styles and flavors. The Cicerone Certified Beer Server exam assesses these skills to recognize those individuals who are prepared to serve today’s wide range of beers.
