Last night I attended the Scottish Pub Sing, led by the Portland Revels, at Lucky Lab in Portland, Oregon. It was beautiful hearing everyone sing songs and while we all drank together. Having a group of people sing together like this reminded me very much of church and just further solidified in my mind that the pub is really a wonderful social center, and good beer is an important element in bringing people together.

Dean’s Scene is one of Portland’s best places to drink a beer. Dean’s basement is a bar and brewery, an underground speakeasy, and you can come in whenever the neon sign is on. He’s got a few beers on tap and plenty of aging bottled beers for you to try.
