The “craft adjacent”: education, organizations, festivals, and words.
This is the final installment of the “brewing-in-oregon-series,” which has taken all the words I wrote for the first draft of my Brewing Industry in Oregon article and put them out into the world!
A maturing industry needed skilled brewers. Food science and studies on fermentation have long been a part of research at Oregon State University, but since the establishment of the Fermentation Science program in the Food Science and Technology department in 1995, OSU has been a leader in its education and training of the new brewers who opened small and independent breweries in local neighborhood communities and those at large-scale corporate breweries.
There are other avenues for brewers and consumers in Oregon to learn and build communities. Headquartered in Portland and founded in 1979, the Oregon Brew Crew is one of the oldest and largest home brewing clubs in the United States. The Oregon Brewers Guild was founded in 1992 as a non-profit organization dedicated to advocating for and promoting the state's brewing industry; it is one of the nation's oldest craft brewer associations. Two other important organizations were founded in Oregon and now have members worldwide: The Pink Boots Society was founded in 2007 by Teri Fahrendorf as a professional organization to support women in the brewing industries. In 2011, Pink Boots Society members created Barley’s Angels, a branch of the organization that served as an educational and social community for female beer enthusiasts; Barley’s Angels split off in 2012.
In addition to more breweries to choose from, consumers had other ways to engage with beer. The Oregon Brewers Festival has been held annually since July 1988 at the Tom McCall Waterfront Park in downtown Portland. Art Larrance, co-founder of Portland Brewing, approached Widmer Brothers, McMenamins, and BridgePort Brewing about starting a "Portland Brewers Festival Association of Oregon." McMenamins agreed to participate, but declined being an organizer, and the remaining three organized the first festival. Today, the Oregon Brewers Festival is one of the nation’s longest running and largest craft beer festivals. Other festivals Portland Craft Beer Festival, Festival of Dark Arts, Holiday Ale Festival, Bend Brewfest, various fresh hop festivals, and Mt. Angel's Oktoberfest.
The increasing popularity of homebrewing and accessibility of imported beers certainly had an impact on the preferences and palates of consumers, as did writing about beer in the public press. Fred Eckhardt was a well-known advocate, critic, educator, mentor, and historian, and his written work on beer and brewing encouraged generations of people to think about beer in new ways. Inspired by a 1972 visit to Anchor Steam Brewery, Eckhardt became an avid proponent of tasteful, complex craft brews. He urged people to focus on flavor, style, and experience in the Oregonian, and also wrote regular articles in national industry publications like Celebrator Beer News and All About Beer. He rose to prominence with his 1970 A Treatise on Lager Beers, a guide to homebrewing and the evolution of lager beer, and 1989 The Essentials of Beer Style. In more recent years, blogs, podcasts, and news aggregate sites have dominated Oregon beer news and information.
Keep making history friends ~ I’ll be here to save it.

Oregon brewers festival
Oregon brewers festival
If you’re a beer lover, this post is for you! The coastal state of Oregon has a yearly Brewers Festival that flocks in locals and tourists from all over. The event started since 1988 and was the brainchild of the founder of Portland Brewing Co. – Art Larrance.
Larrance initiated the Oktoberfest in Munich and wanted a similar atmosphere to promote local microbrews. At that time, there were only four microbreweries in Portland and two more within the state.
Larrance approached the Portland brewers to express his interesting in participating in the festival. McMenamins allowed him to participate but didn’t let him be one of the organizers. The remaining ones of Bridge Port, Widmer, and the Portland Brewing were established by Portland Brewers Festival Association of Oregon and that’s how they set out to have their first-ever brewer’s festival.
At that time, the founder did not know that it would be great concept. Currently, the Oregon Brewers Festival is one of the longest-running beer festival and largest of its kind.

Things I learned at the 2017 Oregon Brewers Festival
Don’t go on a saturday evening. My god! The crowds!
Don’t get the full pour.
Look at that plastic mug up there. It might hold fourteen ounces. A four ounce sample is one dollar. A full cup is five tokens. Five tokens, at four ounces a token, you should get twenty ounces of beer, right? The math doesn’t work.
There is such a thing as brewery groupthink.
Three breweries made gin and tonic inspired beers. No fewer than three breweries made beers using coconut, and all of them made thai food allusions.
Old Town was pouring Coconut Curryocity, which was so light I couldn’t taste any of the adjuncts, next door Lucky Lab had a Summer Thaime saison, which tasted only of super herby yeast, and down the other end was Edgefield’s Tropic Heat which was the boldest offering, coconut milk and habanero peppers. It was hot and creamy. And not at all beery.
Normal people do not know what Brettanomyces is.
I had to explain it to my brother, and his friend, and a random couple standing nearby. Here’s my thirty second explanation: Brettanomyces in a wild strain of yeast which for about a century brewers were trying to keep out of their beer. In the last decade brewers have started adding it to their beers for a funky rustic flavor.
Some people still associate higher alcohol with better beer.
It seemed that all the longest lines were for imperial strength beers, which are hard to find at summer festivals these days. There’s a certain logic at play. If you want to get your money’s worth on four ounces, go for the eleven percent Triple IPA.
Also, no one wants to spend multiple tickets on sample pours.
The specialty tent was empty while we were there. Nate got a weird Cascade beer that tasted of cinnamon without waiting. I got a rye saison that tasted nothing of rye, no line. The regular Cascade line was one of the longest while we were there.
No one know what an IBU is.
When I finished my lecture on Brett, my brother Nate finds the chart listing the beers by IBU and gets excited. He claims no good beer has less than forty IBUs. I was nearly speechless, but IBUs are harder to explain than wild yeasts.
International Bitterness Units, while once ubiquitous on beer packaging, have zero effect on actual flavor. It has even less effect on actual bitterness. IBUs are calculated with a fancy formula that takes in the alpha acids – the main bitterness compound – in the hops being used, the amount of time the hops were boiled, and the gravity of the wort – potential strength of the beer. You do some arithmetic, carry the tens, and get an IBU number.
When you are brewing the old way, boiling all your hops, the formula makes a lot of sense. The longer you boil a hop, the more alpha acid it releases and the more bitterness you’ll get in your beer. But most hoppy beers these days utilize far more hops post-boil – in the whirlpool, in the fermenter, in the conditioning tank – and the formula completely ignores those hops. Also, alpha-acids – the only hop compound the formula takes into account – are far less important to hoppy flavor than once believed.
Long story short: IBUs are bullshit.
No one wants gluten free beer.
In a world wear cider and wine and cocktails exist, no one needs a disappointing gluten free brew. The lines were non-existent.
Everyone wants fruit in their beer.
I know plenty of beer bloggers who cluck disapprovingly at mango infused IPAs. But the people want what the people want.
OMG THIS BEER TASTES JUST LIKE A PINEAPPLE! Yeah. They put a pineapple in there.
People prefer beer from breweries they’ve heard of.
Why is no one lining up for Upright Brewing? They’re the best.
Festivals are no place to actually taste beer.

Staff Meeting
Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Characters: Elizabeth Weir, Radek Zelenka, Evan Lorne, Rodney McKay, Laura Cadman, Chuck Campbell, John Sheppard, David Parrish
Rating: T
Word Count: 1005
Tags: Microbrew AU, beer, vague implied cannabis use, brewing, ficlet
Summary: Just another weekly staff meeting at Atlantis Brewing Co.
Notes:
Prompt: by @colonelshepparrrrd | inspired by my favorite photo of David Nykl:
"Hipster AU where they all work at a microbrewery."
Setting: Portland, Oregon.
Pronunciation: Gose (GOHZ-uh.)
Read on AO3
“Could I have everyone's attention please?” Elizabeth said as she made her way to the front of the room.
Laura turned from her conversation with Radek to head toward her chair. The bespectacled man looked back down at his journal and scribbled in it. Rodney came in from the back room with his clipboard and slumped next to Radek, tilting slightly to read his notes. Evan came out of the office followed by Chuck holding a stack of papers, the two of them sitting. They all settled down and looked up at her before turning toward the sound of light snoring. Laura sniggered and kicked the side of John’s chair, the man jerking upright, barely saving his shades from falling off his face.
“I’m up, I’m up.” He said.
Elizabeth smiled in amusement. “Thank you. I am happy to inform everyone that Evan has secured a spot for us at The Oregon Brewers Festival!” She waved her hand toward Evan as everyone started clapping. The man smiled bashfully as he moved up next to her. “Take it away Evan.” She said before sitting next to Chuck.
“Now, I know we tend to go huckleberry this time of year, but with the festival coming, David and I are thinking about doing something different.” He looked around at everyone. “Rose hips.” He held his hands up at the mummers, “Listen, it’s native, and it has a very subtle sweet flavor." He smiled warmly. "I think it would be a nice change." He shrugged. "Maybe a pilsner?”
“No,” Radek looked up from his journal and leaned back in his chair. “it should be sour beer.” He tilted his head, “Something like-”
Rodney snapped his fingers, “Gose.”
“Ah, yes.” Radek nodded. “We will use Brettanomyces yeast.” He leaned back chewing lightly on his thumb, elbow resting on his other forearm. “Hm. But-”
“-We need another flavor.” Rodney cut in, his face screwing up slightly.
Evan’s eyebrow lifted, “What kind?”
Radek twirled his hand around, “Fresh, citrusy.” He rolled his eyes at the sharp look Rodney shot him, “But not citrus.”
Evan grinned, “Like some local douglas fir tips?”
Radek tilted his head, “I am unfamiliar.”
“Oh, man,” Laura moaned. “I had a doug fir pale ale at Zwicklemania,” she smacked her lips, “it would be perfect.”
“Well, this settles it.” Radek pointed at her, “Who am I to argue with our top taster?”
Laura’s lips quirked up, eyes shining happily.
Rodney groaned, “Yes, please give her an even bigger ego.” Everyone turned and looked at him with arched brows. Rodney grimaced, “What!?”
Evan chuckled. “Cool, David and I will get everything worked out from our end.” His eyes moved to John, “We could use a hand, you down?”
John shrugged. “You know me,” his lips curled up head tilting, “I’m down for anything.”
“Yeah, we know,” Rodney said, followed by a few sounds of amusement from Laura and a snort from Radek.
Evan sat back down next to Elizabeth as Chuck bounded up with his stack of papers. “As usual, let me know if anything is off for deliveries or if your schedules need to be changed.” He squinted at Laura as she took hers, “NOT at the last minute.”
She shot him a sly smile. “I would never.”
“Seriously?” Chuck sent her his best bitch face before sitting back down.
Everyone groaned as Rodney stood and moved to the front of the room. “Alright, you clowns, listen up.” He looked down at his clipboard. "Quit smoking in the downstairs bathroom." He rolled his eyes. "It smells like a Bob Marley concert down there." He flicked them to the side, "Looking at you Sheppard."
John tilted his head, glancing over his shades. "I don't know what you're talking about Rodney."
Rodney slanted his mouth. "Uh-huh, sure you don't.” His eyes slid to Laura, "and do I even need to say it out loud?”
She quirked her lips. “Jealous?
Rodney rolled his eyes skyward, "Knock it off, or I'll have to take drastic measures."
"Fine," she shrugged. "Still say you're jealous."
"Jesus Christ." Rodney's ears turned red as he looked at Chuck, the man freezing, eyes wide.
“We know you’re the one who started the rumor.”
Chuck swallowed, “W-which rumor?”
“Well, that distinction doesn’t really matter considering you start,” Rodney slit his eyes, “ALL OF THEM.”
Chuck pressed his lips together, crossed his arms, and leaned back before shrugging lightly.
“No more.” Rodney made a pained noise as Chuck shrugged again. “Anyways,” he ground out before looking at Radek. “We still need to talk about-”
“Yes,” Radek grimaced. “This new batch, measurements were off.”
Rodney shook his head. “My measurements were perfect, it’s the pick of flavors that really caused-”
“No, measurements were off, the beer is only-”
“As good as the brewer," Rodney mocked using finger quotes, "yes, we have heard it a quintillion times already.”
Elizabeth made an amused face at the others and stood, brushed off her pants, and headed toward the office. Evan and Chuck followed closely behind.
Radek pushed his glasses up his nose. “Well, then you know that-”
“-No, It’s completely salvageable, we make it cheap, slap some-”
Radek stood, his hand slashed through the air, “it will never be sold.” He curled his lip. “I will not sully our name with shit beer.”
“Come on Radek, we can’t just scrap the whole thing. It’s not even that bad.”
John tilted toward Laura and pointed at his watch, eyebrows raising several times. Laura smiled slyly, the two of them heading downstairs.
Radek’s nose scrunched up, “It tastes like donkey piss.”
“Oh? Are you very familiar with this flavor?” Rodney said, “I didn’t know donkey piss was a Czech delicacy.”
“Rodney," Radek intoned.
He huffed, “Alright, fine.” He pulled a pen out and crossed it off his list. “Done, scrapped, no more.” His hand waved around, “Happy now?”
“Quite,” Radek nodded. “Now. Let’s talk about-”
“-The Gose?” A lopsided smile split across Rodney's face.
Radek grinned back, his dimple popping out. “Of course the Gose.”

Eugene brewery Alesong Brewing and Blending Brewery of the Year at the Great American Beer Festival awards.
https://bit.ly/4ebOqet image courtesy Alesong Brewing and Blending Press Release EUGENE, OR: Alesong Brewing & Blending was awarded two medals at the 2024 Great American Beer Festival (GABF) competition and named Brewery of the Year in its size category, the top honor at the nation’s largest beer competition. This year marks the ninth year in a row Alesong has received at least one medal at GABF, coinciding with each year they have released beer since their establishment in 2015. The nine-year medal streak is now the third longest such active streak in the United States, a remarkable feat and nod to the consistency with which Alesong releases world class beers year after year. In the 2024 competition, beers and ciders spanning 107 categories were judged blind by 285 judges, awarding 326 medals to the most exceptional beers from over 9,000 entries. Brewery of the year honors were given to the most awarded producers out of nearly 1,900 breweries and cideries who entered the competition from every state in the nation. Alesong was awarded a gold medal in the barrel-aged sour style category for French 75, a tart farmhouse ale aged in gin barrels with lemon zest and a bronze medal in the brett beer style category for Touch of Brett, a dry-hopped farmhouse ale, and now five-time GABF medal winning beer! Both beers are currently available for on-site consumption and in bottles to go at Alesong’s country brewery, tasting room, and restaurant (80848 Territorial Hwy, Thursday-Sunday 1-7pm). “It’s incredible to win Brewery of the Year at GABF,” says Brian Coombs, Alesong co-founder and Director of Brewing Operations. “We’ve had a good string of success at this competition, but you never really expect to win one of the major awards given just how competitive it is. GABF is the big stage in U.S. craft beer and in particular means a lot to us because the judges are professional brewers whose positive feedback validates the care and hard work that goes into crafting the unique beers that we make.” ABOUT ALESONG BREWING AND BLENDING: Alesong Brewing and Blending is an award-winning artisan brewery, winery, and cidery, and restaurant based in the heart of Southern Willamette Valley wine country outside Eugene, Oregon. With 100% of its beverages spending time in oak, Alesong crafts unique and small-batch blends, producing styles that span the flavor spectrum. As the beer, wine, or cider in barrels matures, the team samples and selects each barrel individually to create a final blend. Paying homage to old-world Lambic blenders and artisan winemakers, Alesong strives to achieve complex and balanced final blends that are much more interesting and complete than the sum of their parts or any individual barrel by itself. For more information, visit www.alesongbrewing.com. ABOUT GREAT AMERICAN BEER FESTIVAL: Presented by the Brewers Association®, the best beers and ciders in 107 categories covering 175 different beer styles (including all subcategories) were awarded gold, silver, and bronze medals at a ceremony at the Bellco Theatre in Denver, Colorado, on Saturday morning. The 2024 GABF competition winners were selected by an international panel of 285 expert judges from 9,216 entries received from 1,869 U.S. breweries and cideries in all 50 states and Puerto Rico. For more information on the GABF competition, including a complete 2024 winners list and photos, visit GreatAmericanBeerFestival.com. from Northwest Beer Guide - News - The Northwest Beer Guide https://bit.ly/40cWlVj

Collection Report: McMenamins Brewery Collection, 1983-2015
Oh my gosh, this collection has been in my backlog for YEARS! It has been so long that when my daughter helped with the inventory on the brew sheets she was 11 years-old and couldn't check herself out of summer camp [now she can drive and has taken the SAT], but she could talk with John Richen (brewing manager at the time) about her favorite beer names and things she'd noticed about ingredients.
Go straight to the guide: http://bit.ly/mss_mcmenamins
Learn more about the Oregon brewing industry in my Oregon Encyclopedia article
The McMenamins Brewery Collection is, truly, a gem. We scanned thousands of brew sheets, which is a part of the magic, but I'm also delighted by all the fun ephemera, including a full run of their coasters. I'll also add that the company biography included in this guide is really a love letter to the company, and I thank Fred Eckhardt, John Foyston, and all the other journalists over the past 30 years for recording all the fun quirks about this company.
SUMMARY McMenamins is a family-owned chain of brewpubs, breweries, historic hotels, and theater pubs in the Pacific Northwest.
The McMenamins Brewery Collection includes digitized brew sheets, digital images, brochures, coasters, decals, event programs, flyers, newspaper clippings, tap handles, posters, labels, a wooden cask, and a six-pack of Hammerhead beer.
COMPANY BIO
McMenamins is a family-owned chain of brewpubs, breweries, historic hotels, and theater pubs in the Pacific Northwest. It was founded by brothers Mike and Brian McMenamin, who grew up in Northeast Portland. In 2021, they operated 56 properties, with twelve hotels; dozens of breweries, pubs, and restaurants; movie theaters; spas; music venues; and a coffee roaster, winery, cidery and distillery. Many locations are rehabilitated historical buildings and at least nine are on the National Register of Historic Places. McMenamins only sells its beer in its own pubs, restaurants, hotels, and movie theaters.
Early businesses
Mike and Brian McMenamin both graduated from Oregon State University, Mike with a Political Science degree (1974) and Brian with a Business degree (1980). Mike and two college friends purchased the Produce Row Café, a bar known for all-night, high-stakes poker games, in Portland's warehouse district in 1974 and sold more than 100 types of beer. The building was built in 1951 and opened as a breakfast café for produce dockworkers in 1953; in later years, it was a barbershop. Mike and Brian bought Bogart's Joint, another Portland-area pub on 14th and Flanders. At various points in history, many beer-related activities occurred in this building: Kurt and Rob Widmer brewed in this location, and it was later space occupied by Portland Brewing and Rogue Ales Public House. By 1980, they'd sold Produce Row, Bogart's Joint, and a third tavern, the Stockyard Café.
Mike opened a wine distributorship and Brian opened the McMenamins Pub in Hillsboro. By 1983, Mike’s distributorship had failed, and the brothers decided to try the bar business again. Rather than the smoky, male-dominated taverns common in Portland, they were inspired by the community hubs they’d seen in Europe. They bought the Fat Little Rooster tavern on Southeast Hawthorne and renamed it the Barley Mill Pub; in addition to a varied beer selection, the pub was known for Grateful Dead memorabilia and anniversary parties. The namesake “barley mill,” which can still be found onsite, was used by Chuck Coury at Cartwright Brewing Co., Portland’s first post-Prohibition brewery. It was originally a kitty litter grinder but is now used annually to grind the grain for anniversary ales.
One major event that impacted the trajectory of the beer industry in Oregon in the 1980s was legislation that married production and sales. Fred Bowman and Art Larrance (Portland Brewing), Dick and Nancy Ponzis (BridgePort Brewing) and their brewer Karl Ockert, Kurt and Rob Widmer (Widmer Brothers Brewing), and the McMenamins lobbied to legalize on-site sales. On July 13, 1985, Governor Vic Atiyeh signed Senate Bill 813, the “Brewpub Bill,” into law. It allowed brewers to make and sell beer on the same premises, key for increasing revenue and gaining new customers.
First brewpubs
The McMenamins took advantage of the new law, and by the early 1990s had opened several brewpubs, each with its own small brewing system attached. They opened the Hillsdale Brewery and Public House October 31, 1985 in the Southwest Portland neighborhood of Hillsdale. Not only was it their first brewery, it was also the first brewpub in Oregon since Prohibition. Known as “Captain Neon's Fermentation Chamber,” a nod to Mike McMenamin’s nickname, the first several batches of beer were brewed with old Tillamook dairy equipment. On October 25, 1985, Hillsdale's first brewer Ron Wolf, who had previously worked at Anchor Steam, brewed the first beer in a small copper kettle and called it "Hillsdale Ale.” It fell loosely into the “Special Bitter” classification of beer styles and was a malt extract brew. Hillsdale Ale was brewed 29 times at the Hillsdale location and 14 times at Cornelius Pass Roadhouse between 10/25/1985 and 11/28/1986. In the first year, several brewers moved through the facility and made Hillsdale Ale, including Ron Wolf (who only brewed 13 batches before leaving), Conrad Santos (who replaced Wolf as brew master), Mike McMenamin, Brian McMenamin, John Harris, Scott Barrow, and Alex Farnham (the company’s first female brewer).
In 1986, they purchased a 125-year-old farmhouse in Hillsboro, Oregon, and turned it into the Cornelius Pass Roadhouse. Later that same year, they opened the Lighthouse Brewpub in Lincoln City. The Fulton Pub and Brewery opened in Portland in June 1988 and the Highland Pub and Brewery opened in Gresham in July 1988.
Eventually, 27 breweries would operate under the McMenamins umbrella and they became a training ground for new brewers, many of whom have gone on to found breweries of their own. Alumni include John Harris (Hillsdale, Cornelius Pass Roadhouse), Jack Harris (Cornelius Pass Roadhouse, Lighthouse Brewery), Jason McAdam (Edgefield, Hillsdale, Crystal Ballroom), Alex McGaw (Fulton, Crystal Ballroom), Ben Nehrling and Kevin Lee (Edgefield, Highland, Kennedy School), and Mark Goodwin (Old Church, Crystal Ballroom).
In addition to serving beer at their brewpubs, the company also hosted festivals, concerts, and other public programming events at their properties, including Dad Watson’s Brew Fest, Edgefield Brew Fest, Highland Pub and Brewery Eurofest, Hillsdale Brew Fest, Lighthouse Brew Fest, Mid-Valley Brew Fest, and the Thompson Barley Cup.
Beer and Other Beverages
The McMenamins’ beers could be unsettling to brewing traditionalists; they used ingredients like apples, spices, and candy bars, as well as lesser used malts like Chocolate and Crystal. They introduced fruit beers to Oregon and early batches featured blackberries from the Hillsdale brewpub parking lot. Hand in hand with their experimentation, McMenamins developed three core beers that are brewed at all their breweries. Terminator Stout (1985) is a dark, English-style brew; Ruby (1986) is a light, raspberry-flavored beer; and Hammer Head (1986) is a classic Northwest Pale Ale. Ruby and Hammerhead are iconic company characters as well; artist Lyle Hehn created Ruby Witch and Hammerhead, and both are staples of murals, posters, and coasters.
Terminator Stout made its debut in 1985 at the Hillsdale Brewery & Public House as the 12th beer brewed. Old Hammerhead, as the strong ale was first called, was brewed January 25, 1986 and was the 37th brew and made with malt extract. John Harris, who later created Mirror Pond for Deschutes Brewery, was the first to make Hammerhead an “all-grain” beer. Harris was hired in 1987, and when they transitioned away from extract brewing, he decided to rewrite the Hammerhead recipe; besides changed the grain, he also added more hops. Ruby, originally called “Ruby Tuesday” before the food chain objected, was first brewed in 1986 and used 42 pounds of pureed Oregon raspberries.
The company made more than beer. They planted 3 acres of Pinot Gris fruit in 1990 and looked to regional vineyards for additional grapes; McMenamins Edgefield Winery was established in 1992 and began by making Rhone-style wines, including grenache and viognier. The Edgefield Winery produces 20 different white, rosé, dessert, and sparkling wines and supplies 350 tons of wine to McMenamins pubs. Also in 1992, and predating the boom by more than 20 years, McMenamins started making cider at the winery and in 2018 sold as much cider by volume as wine.
In 1995, they began experiments with distillation and made brandy under contract by Carneros Alembic, a California distillery owned by Remy-Martin. In 1997, they built their first distillery in an old root vegetable storage barn on the Edgefield property. Their most popular whiskey is Hogshead, but they make several others, including Money Puzzle, which is dry hopped with Teamaker hops (which has 0 IBUs) and is sweetened with blackberry honey harvest from hives on their property.
Historic preservation
The brothers’ love of historic structures directed business growth and community involvement, and preserving important historical buildings is integral to their business. When the McMenamins started, they couldn’t afford new construction, so they purchased old buildings, which came with stories. They employ a small staff of historians to research and document the history, and those are in turn incorporated into each property’s art, murals, menus, place names, and architectural details.
In 1987, the company opened its first theater, the Mission Theater Pub, in downtown Portland. The converted 1890s Swedish Tabernacle, a church-turned-union hall, was also the state's first theater pub. In 1991, McMenamins turned a 1927 art deco theater that was slated for demolition into a second pub and movie house. These businesses were significant and ushered in a new way to watch movies with beer and food.
In 1987, the brothers purchased Edgefield, which was built in 1911 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. They paid $560,000 and invested another $2.5 million to transform the farm's 80-year-old buildings into a multi-utility complex. Edgefield was once the Multnomah County Poor Farm, a self-sufficient facility with a meatpacking plant, power station, large rooming house, and infirmary. When the remodeled Edgefield Manor opened in 1991, the meatpacking plant was a brewery, power station a pub with a movie theater, infirmary a winery, and rooming house a 100-room hotel. There was also a meeting space, catering operation, restaurant called the Black Rabbit, herb and flower gardens, four liquor and cigar bars, distillery, golf course, and amphitheater. One of the more outstanding features of Edgefield, and something that would become the McMenamins' signature, was the extensive art installations created by local artists. Art popped up in surprising places throughout the complex (on ceilings, exposed heating pipes, eaves, fuse boxes) and showed local subjects (former residents, Northwest Indians, 19th-century brewers, the Columbia River Gorge). Within a few years, the company had a set of 12 freelance artists ready to work on new property acquisitions. Edgefield brewery is still the company's largest property.
In 1997, they purchased the Crystal Ballroom in Portland, which had been vacant for 30 years, and filled it with murals depicting the building's history, a brewpub, and a bar. The building was famous for its swaying dance floor, which sat on ball bearings. The Crystal Hotel was built in 1911 and became a dance hall and concert facility that hosted national music acts. Around the same time, they partnered with the Portland Development Commission and invested $4.5 million to remodel the Kennedy Elementary School. What was once a boarded-up building was transformed into a 35-room multi-use hotel with an onsite brewery, restaurant and four bars, a movie theater, a jazz hall, cigar bar, and soaking pool.
In 1999, the McMenamins opened McMenamins Hotel Oregon in downtown McMinnville, Oregon. The building was listed in the National Register of Historic Places and had been a hotel since its first two stories were erected in 1905; five years later, two more floors were added. In 1932, the hotel was renamed Hotel Oregon. In addition to renovating guest rooms, the McMenamins renovation added two bars and an art gallery with old photographs and new paintings that showed the history of the hotel and McMinnville.
Many property renovations followed. In 2000, they opened the Grand Lodge in Forest Grove, Oregon, which was formerly a Masonic home built in 1922. In 2001, they opened the 27 room Olympic Club Hotel and Theater, which was an expansion of the McMenamins Olympic Club Pub in downtown Centralia, Washington. The original Oxford Hotel was built in 1908 and Olympic Club was built in 1913. In 2003, they reopened the Rock Creek Tavern in Hillsboro, Oregon, which they had purchased in 1995 when the original tavern burned down. In 2016, the Anderson School in Bothell, Washington opened. The original Anderson School was built in 1931 and opened in 1936. In April of 2018, McMenamins opened their latest project, the Kalama Harbor Lodge in Kalama, Washington. Other properties include the White Eagle Saloon & Hotel in Portland, which was built in 1905; Boon’s Treasury in Salem, built in the 1860s; and Old St. Francis School in Bend, which opened in 1936.
ARCHIVAL COLLECTION INFORMATION The brew sheets and some event materials were provided to the Special Collections & Archives Research Center in 2015 and 2016 for digitization. The original items have been retained by McMenamins.
In addition to the brewery activity and the various beers released by McMenamins, this collection also contains information on events organized by the company, such as homebrew competitions and festivals. The cask held in the collection was used at the Oak Hills Pub and is decorated with a pen drawing created by brewer Chris Haslett. The photographs show art installation, artists, and property renovation.
