Here is how an induction ceremony takes place:

The brotherhood goes in procession (10 to 12 people) to the site of the enthronement to the sound of hunting horn music. The grand master is preceded by the standard bearer and framed by 2 fork carriers. Two by two follow the great governor and the grand alderman, the grand chamberlain and the officer of mouth, the grand scribe and the guardian of traditions and finally the 2 fourquets carriers with the timetables.

​

The grand master introduces the brotherhood and its members and explains the course of the ceremony.

The officer of mouth then calls the applicant (enthroned person). The grand master then entrusts his command staff to the officer of mouth who will look for the applicant in the room, accompanied by the grand chamberlain and the 2 fork-holders.

The grand chamberlain dresses the applicant in the cloak of enthronement. The latter follows the officer of mouth, surrounded by the 2 fork-holders and followed by the grand chamberlain. The group joined the scene to the sound of hunting horn music.

The applicant is placed to the right of the grand master who presents him to his brotherhood with the help of a curriculum vitae (generally prepared by the relatives of the enthroned). Through the curriculum vitae, the grand master emphasizes the distinctions, hobbies, hobbies, gastronomic tastes and favorite beers of the applicant.

​

Then the great master pronounces the ritual sentence: "Friends colleagues, do you accept Mr. X here present within our brotherhood?" . The confreres respond loudly: “Yes, we accept it!” The great governor gives the applicant a pewter medal on a red and black ribbon bearing the effigy of the devil of the brotherhood. The grand alderman presents a diploma in calligraphy with his name on a red ribbon.

The great Master makes the medalist read the oath of the brotherhood:

The grand master proceeds to the dubbing of the applicant with the help of his staff, pronouncing the following formula: "By Saint Martin, Patron Saint of the commune of Jenlain, by Saint Druon, Patron Saint of the commune of Sebourg and by Saint Arnoult, Patron Saint of Brewers, I make you an honorary member (or other title) of the Confrérie de l'Ordre des Bières de Jenlain ".

​

Finally, the whole Brotherhood tastes a local beer with the owner. This ceremony can be supplemented according to the circumstances and the places by interventions more or less accentuated on the defense of the brewing heritage of the local beers and the local or regional gastronomy.
