I forget all the places I read it now, but I've seen over and over again about the great care with which Belgian Cafe owners will pour their beer. Not only that every beer is supposed to be served in it's own glass, but also how every beer is supposed to be poured in a particular way. I even remember hearing that there is some school that actually trains bartenders in proper pouring, certifies them, and then checks in periodically to see if they are serving beer to there standards.
Well, I know some people would say all this is silly, (which I guess it kinda is), but I for one, am a fan of ritual... so, I would like to know more about this.
I've been trying to find videos of pouring rituals for different Belgian beers, but mostly all I'm finding is Stella Artois videos about there perfect pour. Clearly, Stella made a hell of a marketing strategy off this pouring business, but they were cashing in on something already there right?
I did find a few cool videos about beer pouring:
Here's a bartender showing some tips:

There's a little shot of a bartender at the end here (cool glass rinser too!) Anyone know what's up with the with the malt he's serving with that fruit beer?

Anyway, if anyone knows more I'd love to hear!
