Celebrating a Personal Achievement: Certified Cicerone
After dedicating countless hours to rigorous studying and more than a few evenings spent sampling various brews, I am thrilled to announce that I am officially a Certified Cicerone! This achievement is not only exciting but also a testament to the hard work and dedication that went into my preparation.
For those who may not be familiar, the Cicerone certification program is remarkably challenging—even for seasoned beer enthusiasts. I recently received my results, and I’m pleased to share that I scored an overall 88. While I know there’s always room for improvement, I’m proud of this accomplishment and look forward to enhancing my knowledge of craft beer even further.
I wanted to share this milestone with the community on r/beer, as you all understand the passion behind beer advocacy and education. If anyone has questions about the certification process or what the exam entails, feel free to reach out! Cheers to all fellow beer lovers, and here’s to many more pints of knowledge ahead!
