Herz and Storton Team Up To Educate The World About Beer
LYONS, COLORADO / BOISE, IDAHO— Two of today’s top educators in beer announce the launch of an innovaLve new show, Sense of Beer Style, devoted to essenLal beer-style training for those who want to lead in beer. With beer being the world’s top-selling fermented beverage, the show fills a void by covering foundaLonal concepts and touring the audience through the new 2021 Beer Judge CerLficaLon Program (BJCP) style guidelines. Each episode will be published as a podcast and video show.
Show hosts Jeremy Storton of Good Beer MaYers and Julia Herz of HerzMuses Enterprises and the American
Homebrewers AssociaLon joined forces while studying for the Advanced Cicerone® test (they passed) in the Fall of 2021. As beer educators and BJCP judges, the duo are the perfect pair to help food and beverage professionals, homebrewers, professional brewers, and beer lovers demysLfy, explore and celebrate the beverage.
“We invite everyone wanLng to lead in beer to put Sense of Beer Style on your must-listen-to list,” said Julia Herz, cohost of the show. “A closer study of styles reveals not only ingredients and beer staLsLcs, but also history, culture, regional aYributes, and factors that drive our preferences, experiences, and our modern economy,” shared Jeremy Storton, co-host. “Now there is an authoritaLve resource that educates on the latest in style educaLon and lexicon,” added Herz.
Sense of Beer Style has two versions of episodes. The Prepisodes overview foundaLonal concepts menLoned in the beer style guidelines. Stylecasts cover each style from the 2021 BJCP guidelines, including relevance and history, typical ingredients, brewing process, overall sensory, appearance, aroma, flavor, mouthfeel, style comparison, commercial examples, and vital beer staLsLcs. Herz and Storton also cover ideal glassware, serving temperature, and pairing suggesLons for each style.
