Your BJCP IT Directorate has been working for well over a year now to build a modern system that replaces the legacy code and underlying database for the BJCP website. For decades, the legacy code and database has handled most of the apps and website functions such as Exam Management, Competition Registration and Reporting, Member Records, and Pin/Badge/Kit Ordering and many more ‘behind-the-scenes’ functions.

The purpose of this announcement is to prepare everyone for this transition and to list/describe the changes you will see after the migration.

BJCP Announces Release of 2025 BJCP Cider Style Guidelines

*We tried to make a few jokes, but they just weren't very a-PEEL-ing. We'd be HARD PRESSED to come up with more. So, let's get to the CORE of the matter…

The 2025 Cider Guidelines are a major rewrite of the 2015 edition, this document is a companion to the 2021 BJCP Beer Style Guidelines and the (upcoming) 2025 BJCP Mead Style Guidelines. While some of the 2015 content has been retained, there has been a reorganization and renaming of the categories and styles, including the addition of a few new styles.
