This Friday Stella Artois is hosting a competition to find their next Canadian Draught Master. 16 beer enthusiasts will get their chance to pour that perfect pint of Stella and the winner will earn a spot at the national championships. The event takes place at Doolins on Granville at 7:00pm and I just happen to be one of the judges in search of the perfect pour.

In order to qualify as a judge, I will be getting an education in the 9-step ritual Stella pouring process. This includes: the preparation, the chill, the unveiling, the liquid alchemy, the crown, the beheading, the judgment, the cleansing, and the bestowal. The process doesn’t happen on its own as it includes the use of that classic Stella Artois chalice, angles, temperatures, and the signature foam cutter.

      Hubby would love this pack!

    4. Ryan CousineauWednesday, September 15th, 2010 — 2:22pm PDT

      Oh er. But one question: will the contest be based on pouring draught beer, or from bottles? It looks like it’s off the tap, to judge from last year’s contest.

    5. Rebecca Bollwitt, Miss604 Rebecca BollwittWednesday, September 15th, 2010 — 2:24pm PDT

      The kit (and guide with the kit) is for bottles, the competition is from taps. I re-worded it to clarify 🙂

    6. ChamindaWednesday, September 15th, 2010 — 2:26pm PDT

      I love Stella Artois.

    7. AnneWednesday, September 15th, 2010 — 2:29pm PDT

      Yup. Great Prize to Win!!

    13. Toby SullivanWednesday, September 15th, 2010 — 3:01pm PDT

      Oh me, oh my. I want this. Not only could I enjoy an almost-perfectly poured Stella (likely the best I could do :P), but I could also share them with others. I hope I get this. Many folks would benefit.

    14. A.J.Wednesday, September 15th, 2010 — 3:05pm PDT

      I’ve been trying to perfect my pouring technique for ages and this stella kit would be great for that!

      Tested my pouring skills at the Guinness Brewery in Dublin. The kit would bring back some great memories.

      Hooray! I can use the glasses for protection … you wouldn’t hit a guy with glasses, would you?

      Ba-dum-dum!

      It’s a funny thing. I was at Cafe Crepe yesterday and had a Stella Artois with dinner and commented to my dinner companion that the glass was very cool (has a little star on the stem – a nice touch). These would be spiffy!
