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