As part of a continued effort to keep their content as current as possible, today the Cicerone Certification Program introduced a fresh round of updates to
their syllabi. This comes two years after the last updates, which were prompted by the 2021 BJCP style guideline changes. While no BJCP updates drove these latest changes, the program felt it necessary to add specific topics to keep pace with some of the current trends in the beer industry. “Since taking the program over in March, Dan and I have had constant discussions about ways to ensure that the Cicerone program provides as much value as possible as the beer industry evolves,” said Cicerone program president Jason Pratt. “We feel that these changes are another step toward ensuring that Cicerone continues to be the gold standard when it comes to practical and relevant industry knowledge for beer professionals,” he said.
