The goal is to promote knowledge, craft, and appreciation of beer, helping homebrewers and professional brewers improve their craft and ensuring consumers enjoy a diverse, high-quality selection. BJCP certification is widely recognized in the brewing community as a mark of expertise in beer evaluation.
