CICERONE RESOURCES

As I was going through the different levels of the Cicerone Certification Program I put together lots of notes, drawings and timelines. It was not meant to be shared and I must say it was a bit messy but I’ve been thinking for some time that these could be helpful resources for other people.

So here we are! I’ll keep adding more as I polish my notes! Let me know what you think!

Note: Specifications from the BJCP are reviewed now and then so it might be a good idea to crosscheck and make any necessary adjustment! The file is editable anyway!

If you’ve been to the Oktoberfest you know that

If you’ve been to the Oktoberfest you know that except if you have a reservation it’s first in first served. You must have a table to order beers. So it’s simple, you get a table and you stay for the day 😂. Doors are opening at 9am.
I must say it’s easy to arrive nice and fresh early on day 1. Day 2 is a very different effort 😂.

See this awesome footage from @verena.angermeier 💥

So you know the beer you’ll find in your mass at the Oktoberfest may look like your everyday pilsner…well it’s not. Festbier is definitely a notch bigger (and not just the glass!)
Märzen are also bigger but let’s say that the color would make it more clear it’s different.
Enjoy!

I don’t know if it’s inflation or correction or if it compensates for the 100k+ mass stolen every year… but the price of a beer mass (~1 liter) is becoming serious!
Let’s be positive, it’s tax included and you can go a long way with a couple of them 😅

Let’s call it a White Crimson? I think beer blending is underrated (and I know a few products in the market which are pure blends!)
Here is a Belgian White with a bit of bourbon, oaky, woody notes and crystal malt. Just like this my @allagashbrewing White is dressed for fall with a little extra kick. Bring a friend you want to share this with!

‘Tis the season again!

For Americans it goes without saying that “Pumpkin” means “Pumpkin Spices” made of cinnamon, clove, nutmeg… it’s everywhere from Starbucks Late to shower gels and candles…

For European this typical spice is very much unknown (and so is the pumpkin pie). The expectation is really to taste like a pumpkin (which really is not a signature of its own) and that can be quite a disappointment.

Some pumpkin beers are actually produced with proper pumpkin concentrate. It can’t really be the fresh pumpkin because these beers are brewed now in June or July to hit the market in August…way before any of them are ripe 😅.

My favorite so far has been @tworoadsbrewing rum barrel aged pumpkin beer (Roadsmary Baby).

Happy season ya’ll!

“Masskrugstemmen” is a Bavarian sport; the name translates loosely into the lifting of a liter mug of beer. The “Masskrug”, a 1-liter Stein, is to be held with one arm, completely stretched out and parallel to the floor – the goal is simple: to hold the Stein up as long as possible. It’s a balance between the right technique and strength. The full 1-liter “Mass” weighs about 5 lbs.!
Beer=Sport.
The only frustration is that the better you are the more likely your beer will be warm 😅.

One of the most practical aspect of Oktoberfest is that we all drink the same beer. Can you imagine someone asking for the beer list?
The maß weight about 2.3kg a piece (when full obviously).

Let’s have a closer look at hop magic. Inside the fruit (not the flower), at the bottom of the bractea are plenty of lupulin glands filled with oils, bitterness and more goodness.

It’s @belgianbeerweekend ! All Belgian brewers will meet at the Grand Place in Brussels to celebrate beer and legacies! Here is a timeline I made for you with “all” breweries. How about trying them chronologically 😅

Oktoberfest beer are not all the same. Some are amber and some are blond. For consumers this can be very confusing.
In fact the OG Oktoberfest beer was a Märzen style of beer. Richer, a bit bolder, a bit darker-amber. It just so happened that since the early days the beer available for Oktoberfest in Munich was a Märzen style.
In the 70’ though Paulaner introduced a blond version for the beer to be served at the Oktoberfest which all other brewers in Munich embraced.
So nowadays we have the blond style of Oktoberfest which is a classic in Germany while in US (in particular) most Oktoberfest beers would be amber and more true to Märzen.

It was time I did one for my own country 😅.
Following the German, Czech and British timelines published previously on this account along with a timeline dedicated to Belgian breweries, here is an overview of some key milestones of Belgian beer culture!
As usual the HD version is available on my website!

In 1970, Lufthanza was the first company to offer draught beer during flights. They did it again in 2018 during the ~Oktoberfest. KLM also collaborated with Heineken in 2016 to set up a Draft beer trolley!
When you hardly have space to sit they still manage to roll a keg on board 😂.
Well you know there’s a pressure problem and obvious risk, so the design and carbonation is a bit different. Lufthansa used casks which are not pressurized and KLM used the Blade system I guess using air to push beer out of a pouch.
Still a challenge and I don’t want to be the one spilling beer on the passengers!
