[edit] Serving and Drinking
The serving and drinking of Belgian beers is ritualised to a greater extent than it is in most other countries. The key element of this ritual is the use of a specific, often branded glass, as shown in the photograph. In Belgium almost every type of beer is served in its own type of branded glass.
Although a brand name on a glass will not impart any difference to the taste or texture of the beer, the shape may have an influence. Chalice shaped glasses are seen as better suited for strong, richly flavoured ales such as abbey beers than a conventional straight shaped glass used for lagers and light ales.
