Belgian lace, also called Brussels lace, is the pattern of foam rings that clings to the walls of the glass as you drink a beer. Its name comes from its resemblance to the handmade lace of Belgium, and when it forms parallel rings it shows that the foam is stable and the glass is clean.<\/p>\n

Beer foam<\/a> also has a name of its own in Spanish. The dictionary of the RAE (Real Academia Espa\u00f1ola), the Diccionario de la lengua espa\u00f1ola, records “giste”<\/a> as “beer foam”, a word borrowed from the German “Gischt”, which means foam.<\/p>
