Judges

How did you get into the beer industry? Why does beer matter to you?

Ten years ago, I became one of the first BJCP judges on the Chinese mainland; in 2021, I became the first Advanced Cicerone in Asia; I have served as a judge in over 70 beer competitions. Beer, my Fortune. Beer, my Life.

Why do you judge at the World Beer Cup? What does judging at the World Beer Cup mean to you?

WBC is the world's largest international professional beer competition. I hope to taste and discuss beer with outstanding judges from all over the world in this competition. Through this process, I will gain a better understanding of beer and myself.

What else would you like the world to know?

As a beer judge and even more so as a beer observer, I aspire to observe everything related to beer.
