Involvement Opportunities

Competition Judging

We are always looking for more volunteers to judge at the club only competition. If you have any interest in becoming a BJCP certified judge or if you just want to learn more about the judging process, the club only competitions are a great setting to get some experience. Contact the officers for more information.

Education Topics

Is there a topic you’re passionate about or an experiment you’d like to perform? If so, we’d love for you to present it at a club meeting! The club is willing to reimburse individuals who present an approved education topic for ingredients, commercial examples of a certain style, or anything else needed for an experiment (up to a certain threshold). If you are interested in presenting, please email the officers or approach one of us at the meeting.
