6 Barrel Brewhouse
Established: February 1997
2016 Brewery Production: 1,615 barrels • 3,230 kegs • 400,520 pints
This second-story brewery is home to well-seasoned and endlessly creative brewers Drew Phillips and Stephen Harper, who in addition to the usual company standards and seasonals, work to have a constant rotation of flavorful and unique offerings for patrons of Ringlers and the Ballroom, as well as three outlying pubs. House favorites include No Bad Days IPA and Stephen Weizen. The brewers here also make frequent use of the barrels made available by the Edgefield Distillery, and these fabulous barrel-aged beverages are not to be missed.
The brewery itself is housed in what was originally the Crystal Ballroom's dance rehearsal studio. Bits of the legendary ballroom's history are depicted on the brew and fermentation tanks, including a stern portrait of Lola Baldwin, the conservative policewoman who stayed busy during the Jazz Age keeping booze and other vices out of this place. One of McMenamins' pioneer brews, Crystal Ale, was named honoring the ballroom before the property was acquired. The recipe was refined in 1997 to coincide with McMenamins reopening of the ballroom.
