Named for the neighborhood in which it is located, this brewery opened as part of the rejuvenated Kennedy School in 1997. It is housed in what used to be the little girls' room of the old school, and features artwork depicting the history of beer making as well as the antics of school girls.
Concordia Brian Riley & Ryan Lund stay busy cranking out the company standards and seasonals as well as rotating property selections including the coveted Whiskey Widow and Yule Shoot Your Eye Out! Double IPA.
Concordia has on multiple occasions represented McMenamins at the Oregon Brewers Festival. They also traditionally are among the breweries participating in the Organic Beer Festival.
A major brewery upgrade in early 2011 brought a new ceiling and the conversion to glycol-jacketed fermentation tanks. A rearrangement of the fixtures, so to speak, to spruce up the former ladies room.
The Kennedy School & Concordia Brewery is now a stop on Brewvana Portland Brewery Tours!
