Newest Master Cicerone is Named!
Over the days of May 8 and 9 in Northern Illinois, 11 candidates sat down to take the Master Cicerone® exam—a series of exams of intense written and oral questioning about beer styles, draft systems, beer evaluation, brewing technology and beer and food pairing. Only one candidate achieved the passing score, and he is now the seventh Master Cicerone to join the ranks. And at 25, Pat Fahey is also the youngest individiual to achieve the title of Master Cicerone. Congrats to Pat!
Cicerone Certification Program
Founded in 2007, the Cicerone program conducts examinations of beer knowledge for certification at four levels. Thousands of people who work for breweries, beer wholesalers, restaurants, bars, liquor stores and grocery stores have completed one or more levels of the certification program in the past year. Doing so demonstrates knowledge of beer keeping and service, beer styles, flavors, brewing process and ingredients and beer and food pairing.
