Beer Sommelier

A beer sommelier is a trained expert that specialises in beer styles, brewing methods and food pairings. The role is sometimes referred to as a Cicerone, particularly in the United States, or perhaps a beer specialist. It’s not as common as a wine sommelier, but the field is growing rapidly.
