Oaks Bottom Public House - Set list - December 13, 2006

It's holiday season and, bleary-eyed from contributing to the Portland Revels, we once again took to the Oaks Bottom Public House, the Sellwood neighborhood pub. Here's our song list from that evening:

• Glorious Ale -- sung by Paul M.
• Shores of Botany Bay -- sung by Dick L.
• Bonnie Ship the Diamond -- sung by Phil H.
• Rolling Down to Old Maui — sung by Charley R.
• Hob-i-Derry Dando -- sung by Paul M.
• Goodnight Lovin Trail -- sung by Phil H.
• Doodle Let Me Go - (Yeller Gal) -- sung by Hugo G.
• Run the Rigging Again -- sung by Elizabeth C.
• Eat Bertha's Mussels -- sung by John M.
• Strike the Bell -- sung by Paul M.
• Greenland Whale Fisheries-- sung by Paul M. and Hugo G.
• The Farmer's Boy -- sung by Hugo G.
• Glanville's Homemade Beer -- sung by Charley R.
• Barrett's Privateers -- sung by Charley R.
• I can Hew -- sung by Dick L.
• South Australia -- sung by All
• Rolling Home -- sung by Dick L.
• Bring Us A Barrel -- sung by Hugo G.
• Parting Glass -- sung by All -- lead by Charley R.

It looks as though Jim Parker, landlord of the Oaks Bottom Pub, is going to make Glanville's Homemade Beer worthy of actually drinking. The morning of the 14th of Dec. M. Glanville visited Lompoc's 5th Quadrant brewery to start the process. Along with Jim Parker, other folks present at the start was the head brewer at Weinhardt's for 20 years, Scott, and Derick the current head brewer at Lompoc.

M. Glanville informs us:

It's made with the Willamette - Fuggle hop, I'm adding fresh
Challenger hops... to increase the hop aromatic to complement
the fundamentals from the first boil. This combination of hops
is identical to Tanglefoot, my favourite beer from the Badger
Brewery in Dorset on the south coast of old-England.

They brewed up a double batch - something like 14 barrels. We'll have a taste of it 'round Dec. 25th. Let's hope noone's legs get set afire, as chronicled in the song.
