Damn straight - everyone was mentioning how their hand hurt.The one thing everyone comments on is how much of a beating their wrist and hand takes writing so much so fast for so long. Especially if you're many years out of school, you will not have held a pencil for 1/10 of the time you'll be holding it during the exam.

They where all home brews. An ESB, Russian Imperial, Belgian Triple and I forgot the 4th.I have been organizing a class in Minneapolis helping people prep for the exam twice a year for the last four years. (I administered an exam this past Sunday in MN.) What did they give you for exam beers?(I have taken the BJCP exam three times and am at National. I am also one of six people who took/passed the pilot BJCP mead exam.)

The stout was awful. Had a number of problems (no carbonation, too sweet, nasty...)The Triple was laced with alcohol- really 'hot'I gave the ESB a pretty high scoreStill can't remember the 4th.how were they?It is my understanding that normally1 outstanding 1 has obvious flaws (infection / doctored)2 middle of the road with minor issues or mis categorized

When I have prepped beers for the exam, this is what I shoot for: one in the high 30s/40s, two in the 20s/low30s, and one 13+ score-wise.I like to use both commercial and homebrewed examples.how were they?It is my understanding that normally1 outstanding 1 has obvious flaws (infection / doctored)2 middle of the road with minor issues or mis categorized
