NEWS: World's Premier Draught Masters Descend upon New York City

FORMAT: B-roll and Soundbites

STORY SUMMARY: On October 29, draught masters from 32 countries will descend upon New York City to perform the centuries old Belgian Pouring Ritual and compete for the 2009 Stella Artois World Draught Master title. The crowned winner will embark on a global quest where they will visit more than 20 different countries as a Stella Artois brand ambassador and share their passion and dedication to the craft of the perfect pour.

The annual draught master competition continues to grow in stature and success. To help celebrate Stella Artois' 10 year anniversary in the U.S., the contest will be held in New York City after being hosted in Leuven, Belgium for the past 12 years. The timed competition will take place in front of an esteemed panel of judges including Food & Wine magazine's Ray Isle, Bon Appetit magazine's Andrew Knowlton, Stella Artois Draught Master Cian Hickey and 2008 U.S. Draught Master Winner Anthony Alba.

In addition, this year, New York Fashion Designer Tim Hamilton has created the Stella Artois Chalice Trophy that embodies the ideals of the competition, as well as created a limited edition of 500 numbered chalice replicas -- the brand's iconic glassware.

Representing the U.S. in the World Draught Master Finals on October 29th is Las Vegas bartender Greg Black. A bartender since 1997, Black was named U.S. champion during this year's U.S. Stella Artois Draught Master Competition where he exhibited his master of the 9-Step Belgian Pouring Ritual.
