Ok I feel I need to explain the title very slightly, you see every year – normally the last wekeend in April – there’s a (small) beer festival in Reading. Having spent 5 years at Reading you would have thought that I would have had my fill of Berkshire ales, but alas I was unable to attend any of these prior events. This is because by about this point you’re normally 3/4’s of the way through your revision schedule for the exams in the middle of May (even on my birthday without fail).

So once I graduated I made myself a little promise to go to the festival, no matter how far, to get those 5 missed years back! This was my second year :)

This year was a little less successful than [the last] as I was supposed to meet some friends (you know who you are) who said they’d turn up in the afternoon, but by 1 o’clock the queue was massive and it was one in one out and that was the end of that.

Never the less I had a great time with marc and friends, even if marc was sick as a dog and didn’t drink anything :)

This year’s pint glass was a little weird featuring a lion dripping wet wearing a rubber ring with a pint glass in his hand. I’m not sure what sort of message this is supposed to send, but swimming and drinking is generally inadvisable!

Also present were people making [balloon creations] and some strange [camra] leaflets.
