Cicerone is the leading brand for beer expertise and education. When it comes to finding great beer, consumers need guidance from knowledgeable professionals who understand the flavors, styles, and service of beer. They also want to purchase beer from establishments that prioritize proper storage and serving practices to ensure a perfect drinking experience.

Unfortunately, many times great beer is compromised by mishandling and improper service methods. In the world of wine, a sommelier is a trusted expert in fine wine selection and service. Likewise, the Cicerone® Certification Program has become the industry standard in beer knowledge and professional skills.

Founded by experienced brewer and beer expert Ray Daniels, the program offers independent certification to ensure that both industry professionals and consumers can identify beer servers with exceptional knowledge and skills. The Cicerone staff is composed of passionate beer enthusiasts, engaging in activities like homebrewing, cooking, travel, and even sporting beer tattoos.
