Frequently Asked Questions

Who created the Beer Scholar Online Courses?

Chris Cohen launched Beer Scholar and has been training folks to pass the Cicerone exams since 2014.

He is one of ~150 Advanced Cicerones®, he's a National BJCP judge, a former contributing beer writer for SeriousEats.com and San Francisco Chronicle, is the cofounder of the SF Homebrewers Guild, and is cofounder of Old Devil Moon, one of SF's top beer bars. Chris is an award winning homebrewer and has judged the Great American Beer Festival and the North American Guild of Beer Writer Awards competitions, among others.

Chris is a former attorney. He applied the techniques he used to pass the NY state bar exam to passing the Cicerone® exams and has distilled that information into these well-organized comprehensive online courses that contain everything you need to know to beat the exams.

Are these courses worth the price?

The online Certified Beer Server® exam costs about $80 to take and has a 75% pass rate. You can virtually guarantee passage by studying with the Beer Scholar's online course, it's a time and a money saver.

The Certified Cicerone® exam costs $400 to take. About 1 in 3 people pass. That's just crazy, don't be one of the many who flunk. You can easily spend more than the cost of this online course on less thorough books and study material, but the Beer Scholar course organizes and condenses all that info into a single well-organized comprehensive course that tracks the syllabus (and includes material from all the English language syllabi -- US, Canada, UK, & International). It also includes tips and tricks for passing the written and tasting portions, plus several full practice exams. Walk into (or log onto) the test with total confidence and crush it. It's a no brainer.
