Luton's indoor market is resurrecting the role of ale taster and is looking for suitable volunteer candidates.

In medieval times the ale taster would visit stalls and inns on market days and at fairs to ensure alcoholic drinks and other produce were of good quality
The role disappeared in the early 19th Century, but is now being brought back. The future employer said a "genuine love of food and drink" is essential.
