Beer Festival

Story location: Home / Blog / food_and_drink /
03/Mar/2006

Last night was the final night of the university's Real Ale Society's beer festival. Over the last 3 nights there have been lots of beers, ales, lagers, ciders, perrys and wines available to taste. Unfortunately I've had to get up early for work every morning, meaning that I've not been able to try as many beers as I'd like but we did manage to sample a good selection. There was only one (a dry perry) which we didn't like but it wasn't bad enough to leave it undrunk.



Car Park under attack

I was sitting at my desk in work when I noticed a puff of smoke out of the window and a second later heard a bang. It turned out that a firework or rocket had been fired from the roof into the car park, narrowly missing my boss's car!

The University Student Cinema was having a Wallace and Gromit Night, where they showed all 3 short films, the Cracking Contraptions mini-episodes and the film Curse of the Were-Rabbit.

I was glad to see that 'Were-Rabbit' won the Oscar for best animated film.
