BJCP Tasting Exam Prep - Section 3 Lesson 2 - The BJCP Beer Style Commercial Examples

In this lesson of the BJCP Tasting Exam Prep Course from the Brewers Anonymous Homebrew Club, we shift the focus squarely onto what you need to do to succeed on the tasting exam. We begin with a practical refresher on navigating the BJCP Beer Style Guidelines and explain exactly how to use them strategically — not just read them. You’ll learn why Categories 1–26 matter most for the exam, how to download and use both the PDF and mobile app versions, and how to identify weak spots in your style knowledge before exam day. From there, we dive into one of the most underused study tools in the guidelines: commercial examples. These beers represent strong examples of their respective styles and can help you build the most important asset for the tasting exam — sensory memory. By intentionally tasting and comparing commercial examples to the written guidelines, you’ll begin developing the instinctive style recognition that separates average scores from top-tier performance. But knowing the styles isn’t enough. This lesson emphasizes the physical and mental discipline required for the exam — including writing full score sheets, building endurance, and training your hand to complete six thorough evaluations under time pressure. You’ll learn why “practice, practice, practice” isn’t just a slogan — it’s the difference between confidence and cramping when the clock starts.
