Who are you?

I’m Nathan Pierce. I quit my job and got a crazy idea to start a brewery (pivot to cidery) here on California’s Central Coast. To learn more about beer, to enhance my resume, and to better communicate with people in the industry, I took the exam for Certified Beer Server.

Certified Beer Server is the first level of the Cicerone® Certification Program. It’s just a 60-question exam online, but the syllabus is challenging and there was a lot that I didn’t know yet.

After passing the exam, a Certified Beer Server will know anything about serving beer including:

  • Storage and pouring
  • Keeping clean lines
  • Styles of beer
  • Brewing process
  • and lots more

Honestly, I had been planning to take this exam for months. Then this website seemed like a great tool to hold myself accountable, organize my thoughts, and help others who are studying for the Certified Beer Server exam.

And now I’m done, so you can use the exact study notes and flashcards that I used to pass the exam the first time…

Cheers!

Nathan
