Cambridge Winter Ale Fest

Ummm... had a good week, realize the tonnes of lectures i want to attend won't be possible... but discovered Master's taught courses in Social Anthropology, Economics, Development Studies, and Geography. And Apparently, they all offer something that i'm interested in and seems relevant.. so sat in on an Economics for the Developing Country Class.... whao.... totally over my head..... covalents? huh? Than sat in this geography/social policy class.... neo-marxism, brown policy? man... lingo people, lingo.... makes learning so much harder when you don't have a foundation.

Anyway, went to a Ale Festival tonight at the Uni Grad centre. It was quite neat.... spend sometime with my hockey team, then spend some time with my class.. had a 4.5% Straw Bear, follow by a 4.5% Rasberry Wheat, finally finished with a %10 Gouden Christmas Ale.... that did me in.... i was just smiling and being silly for the rest of the night! It was such an interesting setting, the venue really wasn't that spectular, mostly standing room only, and the beers were not cold. But once you had a few in ya, everything just mellowed out and became more enjoyable! And the best part was getting in was free, and the beer, except for the 10% ones weren't too expensive! Anyway, here were the list of beers:

sorry, no pictures, didn't know how the event was going to be, lugging around the SLR i thought might not of been a great idea in a venue where beer is the main item, and people will be walking around with their full mugs.
