McMenamins has a full-time historian on staff. He collects stories, photos, anecdotes and more about McMenamins spots, past and present. “Give me a woman who truly loves beer and I will conquer the world.” – Kaiser Wilhelm II What was the very first McMenamins pub, opened by Mike and Brian McMenamin? The Barley Mill on SE Hawthorne in Portland. 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. Queen Elizabeth I, daughter of Henry VIII, was said to be able to drink any man under the table. You show ‘em, Betsy! “Wine is bottled poetry.” -- Robert Louis Stevenson Which beer is our best-selling ale? Hammerhead, of course. Have a pint or two today! At the Grand Lodge, the mosaics in the basement hallways were inspired by the work of Spanish artist Antonio Gaudi. “Wine is bottled poetry.” -- Robert Louis Stevenson Does each McMenamins pub brew beer? Nope – only our brewpubs and breweries do. They supply our other spots. The Centzon-Totochtin (“Infinite Rabbits”) was an Aztec group that represented the ways humans are affected by intoxication. How many McMenamins are there in the Seattle area? Three – Mill Creek, Six Arms and Queen Anne. “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.
