There is actually a new contest going on in Phoenix, AZ on October 21st. It’s sponsered by inbev and includes the 9 step pouring ritual. I am going to compete and am trying to study up on the ritual. Wish me luck!

True, so have I. In fact, the competition I mentioned, drew contestants from all over Europe. The winner that year was a woman from Italy. In 2004, a guy from the U.S. placed, but didn’t win Can’t find any more recent references on the Web. Maybe the contest got lost as InterBrew became InBev and got worldwide ambitions. Anyone know?

Actually it’s not just Belgian, I have had similar experiences at bars in Germany. But it is also just one last precaution to rinse the glass clean so that there is no soap residue in the glass that would also ruin head retention.
