| This season, for those who are interested, I will be posting a mini crawl of real ale pubs for Fax away days. This will usually consist of a Wetherspoons (W) a real ale gem (RA) and a National Inventory pub (NI) which is a listed pub with an interior unchanged since 1939. As a taster ![CHEERS icon_cheers.gif](images/smilies//icon_cheers.gif) I will do a Halifax one for this weekend. Opposite Halifax bus station is The Percy Shaw (W) a new build with a good choice of real ales and good food. Towards The Shay on Powell Sreet you will find The Victorian Café Bar (RA). A great addition to Fax's supping scene where you will find some rarer ales at slightly inflated prices, but this does have the advantage of keeping the local scroats out. Not to be missed, a gem! Onto The Shay now where you will find The Three Pigeons (NI) one of the best Art Deco pubs left in England. A great selection of beers available in here and the perfect place for a pre/post match pint. Enjoy your ale, enjoy the match. Up The Fax! ![Thumbs up icon_thumb.gif](images/smilies//icon_thumb.gif)

At what point will the tour of Fax be updated to include all our lovely new micro pubs?'"
Good point, Norman. I know a couple of lads from Fev coming over on Boxing Day so I will do one before then. I have to say the aforesaid Micro's are a great boost to Fax's real ale scene. Cheery Tree shudds. Ilkley Pale 4.2% Mmm! ![DRUNK icon_biggrin.gifRUNK:](images/smilies//icon_drunk.gif)

Top man, they are indeed a welcome addition.

| Halifax:-A new season is on the horizon and with it comes a few new micro pubs in the town centre. Open a couple of years now The Victorian Café Bar behind The Victoria Theatre is a real gem. Eight cask ales in here along with numerous bottles and plenty of "craft" lines if that's your tipple. Pies as well! Not to be missed. The Alexandra on Alexandra Street is the latest to be opened and although only two pumps are available in here again there's bottles aplenty, a small and welcoming bar is this one. Right next to The Town Hall is The Grayston Unity. In what was an old electrical store a tiny bar will serve you four cask ales in a very unusual setting. Last but not least is The Pump Room micropub. This one is situated at the top of Halifax Bus Station and in a very cosy atmosphere you can choose from six handpumps all of which dispense excellent real ale. Enjoy your Rugby, enjoy your ale. ![Thumbs up icon_thumb.gif](images/smilies//icon_thumb.gif)

| Toulouse:-A long time since I visited Toulouse and the memory is fading, by all accounts we met Bentleyman and his good lady last time, but for real ale you're struggling in France although there is one ray of light in central Toulouse. The Frog and Rosbif on rue de l'industrie is just a short walk from Place Wilson. This is an English style pub with it's own on site brewery. Here you will find six real ales including a stout, a blonde (lager) and a white beer (Belgian). When alighting the underground I recall a very pleasant bar right outside although only the normal French beers/lager was available. Enjoy the match, enjoy the ale! Up The Fax ![Thumbs up icon_thumb.gif](images/smilies//icon_thumb.gif)
