GLASS OF BEER, THE. AKA and see "Chase Her through the Garden," "John Stenson's No. 2," "Johnny Maguire's Reel," "Listowel Lasses (2)," "McFadden's Reel (2)." Irish, Reel. B Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Mulvihill): AABB (Mallinson). A well-known traditional session tune, heard in sessions today. It has been speculated that it was perhaps composed by John McFadden, an Irish traditional musician in Chicago and a contemporary and source of Captain Francis O'Neill. O'Neill's "Pick Your Partner" is a similar tune supplied by McFadden. However, it is also contained in the music manuscript collection (under the "Glass of Beer" title) of Rev. Luke Donnellan (1878-1952), an ms. probably not original with him but rather the work of an unknown but able fiddler who collected in the Oriel, Ulster, region over a lifetime of playing. This suggests the tune was in circulation in Ireland in the latter 19th century.

"Glass of Beer" was recorded in 1976 as part of the first set of reels on the Bridge Ceili Band's (Bronx) first recording. "John Stenson's No. 2" is also a closely related tune. Compare also with James S. Kerr's "Piper's Glass (The)."
