BROOKINGS, S.D. (AP) — Brookings residents looking to get a first-hand lesson on all things beer now have a certified expert to go to.

Angela Yahne is the manager of Wooden Legs Brewing Company in Brookings. She recently passed an exam to become the first person in South Dakota to earn the title of Certified Cicerone, a beer expert much like a sommelier is to wine.

To earn her prestigious craft brew title, Yahne completed a three-hour exam that she describes as a “beer ACT,” which included essay questions, taste testing and a skills portion.

The Brookings Register (http://bit.ly/1SQVhta) reports that the Mitchell native hopes to one day become a Master Cicerone, a top beer expert that requires an expensive, intensive three-day exam.
