	Oregon’s McMenamin Brothers
		McMenamins beer is good, but there’s a lot of good beer around; the same goes for the food.
		No project better embodies the McMenamins’ approach than the revival of the old Olympic Club in blue-collar Centralia, Wash. It was 1993, and Mike was driving to Seattle for the opening of a pub when he decided to stop off at one of his favorite "oddball" spots, Richart’s Ruins.
		McMenamin wandered up the block to talk to a lawyer, drove to Seattle—"with a big smile on my face," he says—and two weeks later owned the 85-year-old Olympic Club plus an adjoining flophouse, the Oxford Hotel.

	Encyclopedia article: McMenamins (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		McMenamins Pubs and Breweries is a chain of over fifty brewpubs (additional info and facts about brewpubs), microbreweries (additional info and facts about microbreweries), music venues, historic hotels (A building where travelers can pay for lodging and meals and other services), theater pubs and more.
		McMenamins was founded by Mike and Brian McMenamin, who grew up in Portland.
		When one of their locations in Beaverton burnt down, they promptly rebuilt it just as it was to keep the feel that the community had come to rely on.

	Seattle - McMenamins Queen Anne Hill
		McMenamins' own beers range from pale ales like Dr. Wheat, Crystal, and Ruby (Ruby being a raspberry ale) and medium-bodied ales like Hammerhead (nicely hopped with Cascades), on through to dark, strong beers, including the aptly-named Terminator® Stout.
		McMenamins is very much a bastion of straightforward pub grub; the menu of the Portland pubs is retained nearly intact, including the classic House Special and Stormin' Norman sandwiches, house originals from Portland's Produce Row Cafe, now a feature of virtually every McMenamins pub.
		McMenamins was mobbed right from its eagerly- anticipated opening day here, and things bode well for the future.

	McMenamins Pubs
		All of this is the result of several years of effort by the McMenamin brothers, one of whom started in the tavern business over two decades ago, with the nearly legendary Produce Row Cafe.
		In the Pacific Northwest, the McMenamins chain of pubs is the closest thing we have to a group of English-style tied houses.
		The McMenamins have gone beyond operating pubs, though; this began with the opening of the Mission Theater and Pub, in Northwest Portland.

	The Seattle Times: Eastside News: McMenamins' brewery company seeks Kenmore property
		At a public meeting on Whidbey Island yesterday, state parks commissioners voted unanimously to accept McMenamins' proposal to build a hotel, restaurant and conference center in the abandoned building, but stopped short of authorizing a lease agreement after hearing an hour of opposing testimony.
		While the commissioners did not sign a binding agreement with McMenamins, the decision to invite private investment in the park worries some citizens who frequent the trails, swimming pool and gymnasium.
		McMenamins intends to restore the 90,000-square-foot building, turn the bottom floors into a conference center and the top floors into a hotel.

		Oregon State University is negotiating with McMenamins to have a pub at the location across from Gill Coliseum.
		Brian and Mike McMenamin are an Oregon State University success story, but their plan to open a pub at OSU is running into some opposition on campus.
		While McMenamins still hopes to be pouring its Hammerhead Ale and Terminator Stout at OSU when the new food complex opens in January 2007, the brothers themselves have steered clear of the debate.

	"Five Years Later" feature, Oregon Stater, Oregon State University Alumni Newsletter
		The enterprising OSU alumni, Brian and Mike McMenamin, oversee a mushrooming chain of 50 establishments — brew pubs, theater pubs, lodging and conference facilities, and destination resorts.
		McMenamins bought the buildings and initial acreage for $500,000 and with the infusion of millions of dollars of additional capital turned the property into a destination resort that now includes 38 acres, restaurants, brew pub, winery, theater, bed and breakfast rooms, conference center, distillery and golf course.
		In 1986, the McMenamins leased a pioneer farmhouse in Hillsboro, which had housed six generations of the Imbrie family, and opened the Cornelius Pass Roadhouse.

	Untitled Article
		Mike McMenamin's father, Robert, is currently a trustee on the $700,000 Wentworth Foundation, which doled out $28,000 in 1997 to groups including the Boy Scouts, Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon, OPB and the Society of Jesuits.
		The new brewpub formula was possible because a group of brewers including the McMenamin brothers had worked the Legislature in 1985 to draft a law that would allow brewers to sell their beer on site and supply that beer to one other pub.
		With their template in place, the McMenamins took off, opening such Portland standbys as the Mission Theater and Pub, the Fulton Pub, McMenamins Tavern and Pool on Northwest 23rd Avenue, the Blue Moon Tavern and Grill on Northwest 21st Avenue and the Cornelius Pass Roadhouse in Hillsboro.

	The Seattle Times: Business & Technology: McMenamins build on history
		STEVEN NEHL / AP Brian McMenamin looks over construction at the St. Francis of Assisi School in Bend, Ore. The school is being converted into a pub, theater and hotel complex scheduled to open in the fall.

	McMenamins - McMenamins Breweries - McMenamins Seasonals
		McMenamins Irish Stout belongs to the dry Irish family and is brewed in the tradition of many famous Irish brews including Murphys, Beamish, and of course, Guinness.
		At McMenamins, we are utilizing a different yeast strain in one of our seasonal brews, a German Kolsch yeast.
		We welcome the coming of autumn with McMenamins "Scarecrow ESB." Scarecrows are a familiar figure in the fall rural landscape that ward off birds from the fields where barley and hops are cultivated for future use as raw ingredients in ales and lagers.

		McMenamins' only distillery & on-site winery, with microbrewery, a regular menu, a fine dining restaurant, hotel rooms, par-3 golf course, and on-site crafts (glass blower, potter).
		Like most renovations in the McMenamins empire, this complex has considerable charms, with everything from a working winery to a movie theater on the premises.
		Generous use of space results in a sort of 'English pub meets ski lodge' sort of ambience, with the usual music mix playing in the background (yes, including the Grateful Dead); the place is also decorated with enamel Dutch street signs and French cigarette ads, to give it a vaguely continental character, perhaps.

		A recent trip to the McMenamins Edgefield Distillery to speak with Lee Medoff, McMenamins' one and only distiller, taught me more about this "white" liquor.
		McMenamins will soon be releasing Hogshead, a 1-year-old whiskey made especially for St. Patrick's Day.
		And, in 2003, be on the lookout for their first standard line of aged whiskey.

	Places People Play -- McMenamins Olympic Club
		Yogie Berra had the words for my experience at the Olympic Club, "It was dejavous all over again." I had heard of this place The McMenamins had brought back to life.
		One by one the excess tables were set on top of each other against the wall and soon the entire place was closed in the 1980's.
		A relic left over from these extralegal activities was found in the cellar: a wooden pickle barrel modified with a secret compartment at its base for stashing the hooch (a similar discovery of a motorcycle and side car resembling those formally used by Centralia police officers has yet to be explained).

	Review of McMenamins Queen Anne Hill - Seattle, WA, 98109-4114 - Citysearch
		Actually no McMenamins have good food, but it could be the saving grace for this place.
		It's not as great as some McMenamins I've been to in Portland, but the beer is still tasty.
		The menu is a bit heavy, and smoking isn't allowed (a drawback for a smoker like me, but I'll bet there are more than a few who love the no-smoking rule).

	Review of McMenamins Market Street Pub - Portland, OR, 97201-3430 - Citysearch
		THEN, they took the tenders and tots off the happy hour special and changed the chicken strips from the tasty morsels they once were to some greasy deep fried pieces of bread.
		McMenamins seems to have popularized brewpubs but their beers are some of the most foul concoctions I've ever tasted.
		In fact, they are so bad, rating any of their pubs an 8.5 makes me question the value of your rating system.

	Review of McMenamins Highland Brewpub - by Tom Ciccateri (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		A half-dozen picnic tables act as a buffer between the stand-alone brewpub and the adjacent parking lot.
		The classic McMenamins's style brewhouse is clearly visible to customers: 180 gallon brew kettle, rectangular open mash tun, and the requisite three decorated Grundy fermenters.
		The house beers are joined by those from sister breweries and feed a total of 11 taps bearing the McMenamin moniker.

	Australian Music Online :: Artists :: The McMenamins
		Recorded and mixed in just one week at Damien Gerard Studios in Sydney, and produced by Fleur McMenamin, The McMenamins is in store September 5th 2005, through MGM distribution.
		The McMenamin’s debut album is a sweet sounding, brand of alternative, country folk-rock that incites an awesome live audience reaction time after time.
		It is this reaction that has landed them airplay on JJJ and other community radio stations with their previously released 5 track EP, and performance slots at the Woodford Folk Festival.

	Review of McMenamins Tavern and Pool - Portland, OR, 97210-2504 - Citysearch
		While the other McMenamins in the vicinity are regularly packed, this tavern...
		The same food as all the other McMenamin's joints, which means one of the best burgers and reliably greasy fries and a bank of trusty brews for any palate.
		As for this particular McMenamins restaurant, I highly recommend the chicken strips with Hammerhead barbecue sauce and the gyros pita sandwich.

	Review of McMenamins Kennedy School, by Tom Ciccateri
		Now the McMenamins Kennedy School facility serves another purpose but remains in touch with the desires of its contemporary community.
		From a 13-place wooden bar and its surrounding natural wood tables and booths the beers can be sampled, as well as food such as Burgers, Wings, Provolone Sticks, and Jalapeño Poppers.
		The success of the McMenamin strategy seems to be only growing.

	Review of McMenamins Kennedy School - Portland, OR, 97214 - Citysearch
		McMenamin's has good beer, an awesome ambience, great drinks and good movies on the cheap.
		I really wonder at how this place got a 9.5 rating for their burger unless folks are too drunk off the good beer to remember the similiraty between their burgers and cardboard.
		McMenamins is a great place for those looking for a safe comfortable place to have some tame (but alcohol weak) beers.
