It was with some trepidation, then, that I received an invitation from
Leeds University Union’s Real Ale Society. “There is a Beer Fest in the
Old Bar”, they said. “Come and have a look!”, they urged. Now, your
editor is always up for new experiences and challenges, so at 4pm on a
Friday I am waiting outside the Union Building. Everyone seems to be in
normal clothing, so I stuff my Batman costume in my bag and await my
guides.
