The Brass by Robert P. Wright and Matthew J. Barron

Description

The pub that became the cathedral of Oregon’s craft beer revolution. The Brass by Robert P. Wright and Matthew J. Barron is the story of the Horse Brass Pub in Portland — an authentic British-style public house, twinned for nearly three decades with a historic London pub, whose publican Don Younger became the archbishop of American craft beer. This authentic British-style pub, with deep British roots, became the cathedral of Oregon’s craft beer revolution — and its publican, Don Younger, its archbishop.

Wright traces the pub’s journey from its very British origins to beloved institution: the stories, characters, and traditions that shaped it, and how one warm room with real British soul helped make Portland the birthplace of America’s craft beer culture. Twinned for nearly three decades with the Prince of Wales, a historic London pub near Wimbledon.

Part local history, part love letter to pub culture — a must-read for beer enthusiasts, Anglophiles, and anyone who believes good companionship is the order of the day.
