He is able to describe accurately the characteristics of ingredients and how they harmonize inside the beer styles.
2 Brewing & Fermentation Skills
Essential for a professional beer sommelier is an understanding of where the taste is produced within the brewing process and how fermentation and barrel maturation gives the beer style the perfect finish. The knowledge of a brewery from the inside enables the beer sommelier to handle the tapped or bottled beer appropriately and to suggest suitable dishes.
