What was the very first McMenamins pub, opened by Mike and Brian McMenamin? The Barley Mill on SE Hawthorne in Portland. Which beer is our best-selling ale? Hammerhead, of course. Have a pint or two today! 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. “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. Does each McMenamins pub brew beer? Nope – only our brewpubs and breweries do. They supply our other spots. “Wine is bottled poetry.” -- Robert Louis Stevenson “We borrowed golf from Scotland as we borrowed whiskey. Not because it is Scottish, but because it is good.” -- Horace Hutchinson “Give me a woman who truly loves beer and I will conquer the world.” – Kaiser Wilhelm II What’s the name of the Kennedy brewery? The Concordia Brewery, named for the surrounding neighborhood. Queen Elizabeth I, daughter of Henry VIII, was said to be able to drink any man under the table. You show ‘em, Betsy! The Centzon-Totochtin (“Infinite Rabbits”) was an Aztec group that represented the ways humans are affected by intoxication. 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.
