20 — Horse Brass Pub
from History by the Glass Hosted by Nathan P. Gale and Alfredo Moreno
It's a marshmallow world in the winter and we're channeling our inner Deano and Frank to bring you a very merry HBTG Christmas episode! This month, we pulled up a couple of stools and drank until we encountered the ghosts of Portland bars past, present, and future at the most Dickensian joint left on our list, the legendary British-Oregonian Horse Brass Pub (17:16). In the bygone era of bigger than life Portland publicans, few stood taller, supported better, and smoked 'em deeper than former Horse Brass owner Don Younger — a self-described "old beer-drinking guy" who loved nothing more than a "good old tavern with a shuffleboard, a jukebox, and a bottle of Henry's." Don, this episode, this entire damn podcast is for you. PLUS, lest old acquaintance be forgot, we're popping the cork on our slightly toasted 2021 New Year's toast (1:15:28)! Initially a casualty of pandemic fatigue, this conversation is aged to perfection and best accompanied, as we were a year ago, by a smooth glass of Parra Wine Co. Tempranillo. Cheers!!
