The word Cicerone (sis-uh-rohn) designates hospitality
professionals with proven experience in selecting, acquiring, and
serving a wide range of global beer styles. To claim the title of
Cicerone, one must earn the trademarked title of Certified
Cicerone® or hold higher certification as Advanced Cicerone® or
Master Cicerone®. Those with a basic level of expertise gain
recognition by earning the first-level title Certified Beer
Server.
In an effort to bring a world recognized certification program similar to wine (Sommelier)
to Thailand, Hoppy Butterfly, a Cicerone Learning Partner, offers the opportunity to learn in
Thai language and help individuals to pass the English Cicerone online exam.
