After a false start when the Secretary got on the wrong train and then the train broke down at Manchester Victoria, a group of branch members enjoyed a great day out on Thursday 4th May sampling the superb pubs and bars that Halifax has to offer. At times it must have felt like herding cats but our guide Craig Papworth managed to successfully shepherd the group round the route that started in

Seven Brothers at Square Chapel Café & Bar,

and then after a detour to take in the amazing Piece Hall,

included

The Meandering Bear

,

Kobenhavn

,

Vocation & Co

,

Victorian Craft Beer

,

Dukes

,

The Grayston Unity

,

The Royal Oak

.

and

The Three Pigeons

The weather stayed good, if cool, until the dash back to the station to catch the last direct train home when the heavens opened. Fortunately there was no drama on the return journey.

The consensus on the train back was that Victorian Craft was the best pub of the trip however there was no clear favourite for best beer!
