Beer: Forgotten... to be confirmed
Receptacle: Pint glass with straight sides
When: 4 August 2008
Situation: First official Beer Reading Meeting, Live and Let Live pub, Cambridge.
This is the first time in known history that a meeting has been held with the express purpose of reading beer. Following a couple of practice pints (always necessary to find the most readable beer on the premises), the initial results were impressive. This full image of a dragon in profile appeared within millimetres of the top of my glass at approximately 9pm. The dragon is complete with ear, open jaw, legs, tail, extended wing, and scales along its spine. Whether the dragon is Welsh or of other origin is yet to be determined (being made of beer foam, it was unable to fill in an equal opportunities monitoring form on this occasion).

Approximately 20 minutes after the dragon, in the same pint, the skull of an ancient king appeared, slightly further down the glass and in a clockwise direction about one third of the circumference away from the dragon. We believe it's a skull because of the large eye sockets, and a king because of the regal pointed beard and large square crown atop his head.

At around 10pm, and in my third pint (though which beer it was I'm afraid I've forgotten...), this fabulous image of a Greek horse appeared, covering almost 50% of the circumference of the glass. Could there be wild Greek stallions in my future? Here's hoping... ;-)

Nope, can't remember the name of the beer either. It was the one we had most of, because it was producing the best readings. I think it was third from the left.
