Birthday beer: Olive Branch Northwest Pilsner
This year's Barley Mill Birthday Beer is a peace offering to the soul. Brewed with hops and grain from around the world, Olive Branch Northwest Pilsner is a tropical Pilsner with Northwest roots. It also includes "The Offering" from this year's Barley Brew lunch, which contributes worldly ingredients to the boil, such as French wines, Spanish spirits, Californian beers, and an olive branch from Edgefield's gardens.

The Offering is a longtime McMenamins tradition. Each May, McMenamins family, friends, brewers and other employees come together to grind grain at the Barley Mill Pub, our first location. The group then travels to our very first brewery at Hillsdale where everyone contributes something special - The Offering - to what will be come the Barley Mill's birthday beer.

The Old Yellers began in early 2001 when founding members Michael Berly and Matty V Hartless came together with the goal to write great songs built around vocal harmonies and well crafted stories. The idea was to write songs with a message that could be felt and understood by nearly anyone. They were soon joined by friends Diego Joyeux and Tim Connell and this core group has been playing together in one form or another ever since.

In the years that followed, albums were made, tours were undertaken, fun was had and many great musicians would take their turn coming in and adding to the overall magic. It is difficult to label them any one thing, because at times they have seemed more Rock and Roll, or Alt-Country, or Americana, or Folk Rock, but there is and always has been, a consistency, a uniqueness, something special, that has woven itself throughout the path they have traveled. Whether you call them The Old Yellers or The Yellers, they are are at heart, an American band, writing and performing their own original music, that above all, strives to evolve the consciousness of the global community and generate a real revolution of spirit.

The Bands powerhouse core has been blessed to surround themselves with a cast of stellar musicians who have, for nearly 15 years, formed the family band that is The Old Yellers. The band defies the limits of categorization into a single genre and can take a crowd on a seamless journey from raucous country honky tonk, to tender heartfelt ballads, past a potential Irish jig and back to the cornerstone of rock and roll all in the span of just a few songs. Yeller music is an eclectic blend of rollicking good time songs that win crowds over again and again.

Seismic Standard brings an infectious blend of folk warmth and indie rock spirit to Portland's music scene. Their sound is anchored by lush harmonies, a mix of acoustic and electric tones and the rattle of an old-time washboard outfitted with bells and whistles. The trio of Shawn Henderson, Matt McFarland and Giued Hatch craft original songs and creative covers that mosey easily between laid-back grooves and rowdy, foot-stomping fun. Seismic Standard's songwriting blends the sounds of modern folk heroes like Fruitbats, Lumineers and M.Ward with some nostalgic 90s alt-rock edge for a result that is catchy and instantly familiar.
