Chef Daniel Joly
- Clean the glassware. “Every Belgian beer has it’s own glassware,” Joly said.
- As you pour, sacrifice a little bit of beer before you pour as to remove some of the foam.
- Keep the Chalice tilted as you begin to pour.
- Straighten the glass as you continue to pour, as this creates “a nice emulsion of flavors.”
- Cut the top of the foam off the glass so the foam is level.
- Dip the stem in water to clean it again before drinking.
The last step is to drink and remember drink responsibly.
