Although the profession of beer sommelier has been recognized in Switzerland for several years now, it is still largely unknown to the general public. The best way to remedy this is to meet Alain Kaehr, beer sommelier in Yverdon-les-Bains.
You've probably already experienced it: you're enjoying a pleasant evening, and find yourself caught up in a heated debate between two of your friends, one claiming that cans are a much better container than the outdated bottle, and the second claiming his interlocutor's status as a tasteless bum. Next time, you can retort to them, in a tone full of superiority and not without a certain satisfaction, that beer, as long as it has any semblance of taste, should be drunk from a glass.
