About Master The Draught

Master The Draught was built by someone who has lived the beverage industry from both sides of the three-tier system — retail category management and supplier sales. Not a bartender, not a brewer, but a career beverage professional who understands how beer moves from production to shelf to glass, and what it takes to truly know it at a certified level.

Justin Brunson
Founder · Aspiring Cicerone

Justin spent over 20 years on the supplier and retail sides of the beverage alcohol industry — managing beer and wine category at Publix across Florida, Georgia, and Alabama, and leading large format chain account sales across North Florida. He built Master The Draught because he saw firsthand how few structured, modern resources existed for people serious about Cicerone certification. Every module, quiz, and mock exam is built from real industry experience and shaped by what the exam actually tests.

Transparency note: Justin is currently pursuing Cicerone certification and is not yet a Certified Cicerone.
