    Looking for people down to meet up for an off-flavor tasting, or even just style tastings (random/blind beers) in the NYC/LI area.
    Taking the Certified Cicerone exam in Philly in 3 weeks. PM or posted if interested. Not only for people taking Certified.

    FYI Top Hops is doing an off flavors class on July 10th. I did one there a few years ago and it was fantastic. Good luck on the exam!

    Thanks for the heads up! Unfortunately timing doesn't work and I'll have to do the off flavor before then.

    I am close to Philly (just a 3 block to Patco from Collingswood and 5 stops into Philly)

    I am starting my studies as well for the Certified Cicerone and I was thinking of doing an off flavor tasting sometime soon again.

    Not studying but might be down for it if time/location is convenient. I'm a BJCP judge.

    I'm doing this now, too! Starting to ramp up on the curriculum, but probably won't take the exam until next year. Definitely looking for folks to study with, and am thinking about hosting a few "study" sessions myself, lmk if anyone's planning anything soon
