Cicerone Certified Staff

If you’re a beer enthusiast, you may have heard of the term “Cicerone Certified.” It’s a certification program that recognizes beer experts who have a deep understanding of beer styles, flavor profiles, and brewing techniques. At The Growler Spot in Fulshear, TX, we take pride in having a Cicerone Certified staff member on our team.

What is a Cicerone?

So, what exactly is a Cicerone? The term comes from the Latin word “cicerone,” pronounced (sih-suh-roh-nee) which means “guide.” In the beer world, a Cicerone is a certified professional who has proven their expertise in beer service, beer storage, beer styles, and beer pairing with food. This certification program was developed by the Cicerone Certification Program, which was founded in 2007 by beer expert Ray Daniels.
