Funny, I took the opposite approach and got more involved in judging after getting some lousy score sheets. If I'm better than these bozos filling out score sheets for me, then maybe I ought to help out other brewers and fill out score sheets for them. Moreover, the experience makes me better at evaluating my own beer. Seems like a win all around to me.





... Not a judge yet but am waiting for results of the tasting exam. The whole process of studying and critically tasting a wide variety of beers really helped out my palate and helped me find the particular ranges/characters in any particular style that I really liked which has helped with my recipe formulations.
