Congrats on passing the exam and turning "certifiablly stupid" (whoops, I mean "cicerone"!!!). Wish we'd known you were in S.D.; we may have made it down, since we were visiting my WI cousin in Carlsbad that Sat. We could've done some "tasting"! ') We still want to make it back over to Papago's, the coolest brewing place to hang out at! I have some friends who graduated from AZ State in '06. They've returned to AZ a couple of times to visit friends. I told them about Papago's; they hope to make it there sometime. Take care....R & M Hey Ron, Thanks for sharing the great website.

That puts them in the top third of all who have taken the exam so far. All who took the exam agreed that the tasting portion was the hardest. I'm sure there will be more discussion of the exam on our discussion boards at www.cicerone.org as well.
