Your guide
Hi, I’m Matt.
I’m a professional brewer, BJCP Certified Judge, and Certified Cicerone. I bring the perspective of the brewhouse and the judging table to approachable lessons about beer.
My goal is to help you describe what’s in your glass, understand why it tastes that way, and appreciate what makes a beer well made.
Beer is great but great beer is better.
