This is  my “I will return” to these pubs list

I am lucky that none of the places I like are close to where I live as I would spend way to much time visiting them. These are places that put together that right balance of good beer, good food and a nice place to enjoy them.

• Horse Brass Pub

  4534 SE Belmont St. – www.horsebrass.com – Visited 4/5/2015

  This taproom pub always has a nice rotating tap list. This was one of the first pubs to start pouring micro brews in the Portland area. Don Younger, the colorful character who owned it until his death a couple of years ago, entrenched this colorful place in Portland Micro Brew history. Excellent place, Good tap list and English stile pub food, love the daily special. I am glad this place is not near me or I would be there all of the time. This place can be crowed so go off hours.  This place truly meets the good beer, good food and good place to enjoy them criteria.
