BIIAB Level 2 Award in Beer and Cellar Quality (Cask and Keg)

Duration: One day

Summary

Designed to help candidates ensure that their beer is consistently served in an optimum condition – which aims to increase sales and decrease wastage. Covers every aspect of real ale from deliver to serve.

The BIIAB Level 2 Award in Beer and Cellar Quality (Cask and Keg) otherwise known as ABCQ can be used as a stand-alone qualification or as part of an induction programme. The Award is aimed at businesses and candidates required to handle and care for cask and/or keg beers – as well as anyone required to maintain a safe and hygienic cellar. The ABCQ covers the following:

  • Understanding beer products
  • Maintaining hygiene in the bar
  • Glassware
  • The Perfect Pint
  • Maintaining a safe and effective cellar

For businesses which do not offer cask beer products, there is a ‘keg only’ version of the test, which consists of 25 multiple-choice items and excludes material directly relating to caring for and serving cask conditioned products.
