Wee Billy Big Chin's 80 Schillin' Scottish AleLimited-Edition Beer Tasting5 p.m. 'til the beer is gone21 & over to drink |
|
A deep red, mahogany colored brew. It is crafted with roasted black barley which yields a dark rich color and a subtle roasted flavor! The hop character is low, light, floral and herbal, allowing its signature malt profile to be the highlight! Approachable and drinkable, it is perfect for those warm summer evenings!
Give it up for St. Arnold, the patron saint of brewers! His miracle was a tankard of ale that never ran dry… Put him on the invite list. What was the very first McMenamins pub, opened by Mike and Brian McMenamin? The Barley Mill on SE Hawthorne in Portland. “Wine is bottled poetry.” -- Robert Louis Stevenson McMenamins has a full-time historian on staff. He collects stories, photos, anecdotes and more about McMenamins spots, past and present. How many McMenamins are there in the Seattle area? Three – Mill Creek, Six Arms and Queen Anne. Queen Elizabeth I, daughter of Henry VIII, was said to be able to drink any man under the table. You show ‘em, Betsy! At the Grand Lodge, the mosaics in the basement hallways were inspired by the work of Spanish artist Antonio Gaudi. Which beer is our best-selling ale? Hammerhead, of course. Have a pint or two today! The Centzon-Totochtin (“Infinite Rabbits”) was an Aztec group that represented the ways humans are affected by intoxication. “Give me a woman who truly loves beer and I will conquer the world.” – Kaiser Wilhelm II Does each McMenamins pub brew beer? Nope – only our brewpubs and breweries do. They supply our other spots. “We borrowed golf from Scotland as we borrowed whiskey. Not because it is Scottish, but because it is good.” -- Horace Hutchinson What’s the name of the Kennedy brewery? The Concordia Brewery, named for the surrounding neighborhood. “Wine is bottled poetry.” -- Robert Louis Stevenson
