After brunch, we made a quick visit to the Horse Brass Pub, one of the best beers bars in Portland, and the country for that matter. It’s owned by my friend Don Younger, who’s done a great deal to support craft beer over the years. This year is the 30th anniversary of the Horse Brass Pub. It’s beer selection is naturally excellent and has an authentic British pub feel. I had a couple of yummy cask beers.

One of Don’s former employees did this painting of him during a trip to England in 1997. I’ve always loved it and happily this visit was able to manage to get a decent photo of it.
