Based in the United States, the Beer Judge Certification Program operates in the Food and Beverage Services sector with a mid-sized staff and an international membership. It aims to promote beer literacy and appreciation of real beer, while providing formal recognition of beer tasting and evaluation skills. The program certifies and ranks judges through an examination process and ongoing monitoring, establishing standardized criteria for evaluating beer. Its global membership reflects its role within a broader community of beer judging and education. Its activities include publishing and updating the BJCP Beer Style Guidelines, which were expanded to new languages in 2024 to broaden accessibility. In August 2025, BJCP announced the upcoming rollout of a system codenamed Bravo to modernize applications and underlying databases.
