Enjoy a pint of McMenamins' finest!
Beer available to go at all McMenamins locations.
Terminator Stout
Black as the darkest night. Rich as the most decadent dessert, Terminator is for the true stout lover. This is a full bodied and flavor packed ale which draws it's robust complexity from kiln-baked specialty grains. Look for a wide array of toasted, chocolate, nutty and coffee-like flavors in every pint! The devoted swear by it, and it remains one of our top selling ales year after year.
Hammerhead
A classic Northwest pale ale and McMenamins top selling beer. This rich chestnut colored gem is a model of harmony between hops and malted barley. Hammerhead's signature Cascade hop nose and intense hopped flavor blend nicely with the caramel tones from the crystal malt. This beer has a vocal following. To run out is an unforgivable sin.
Ruby
One of our most popular standards, we still make Ruby with the same aims we had when brewing the first batch back in March 1986: To create an ale light, crisp and refreshingly fruity. Great Western Premium 2-row and 42 pounds of Oregon-grown and processed raspberry puree is used to craft every colorful batch. Simple but delicious. Taste the original!
Sleepy Hollow Nut Brown
Time has slipped by again and we are confronted with the myriad of changes in the season that is autumn. Beautiful arrays of different colored foliage magically appear on the trees. Chillier weather starts to encompass our lives day by day. It's time to start thinking of burning wood in the fireplace to drive the cold from the extremities and of savoring the potion of your choice to warm the bones and soothe the soul. One can't think of anything better than the McMenamins classic seasonal brew, Sleepy Hollow Nut Brown.
Sleepy Hollow Nut Brown's chestnut color and medium body will cast an otherworldly spell over you. The complex malt character, well balanced with Nugget and US Golding hops, will have you walking in a continual reverie. Legend has it that Ichabod Crane downed a few Nut Brown Ales listening to local ghost tales and scary legends at the Van Tassel merry-making party before his fateful trip home. Be watchful and clear-headed on your way home lest you begin to grow fanciful, see shapes and shadows in the night and hear things in the howling wind. It may just be your imagination or it may just be the Headless Horseman on his fire-breathing black stallion following you!
Dark Star - Cascadian Dark Ale
Lovers of hop, your star has risen. Dark Star’s solid malt backbone is laced with black malts for unmatched robustness and complexity, allowing it to shoulder a bounty of NW hops with unparalleled grace. Big, bold, and brimming with flavor, this is our definition of Cascadian Dark. 7.9% ABV
Color: Dark Body: Med
Bitterness: High Flavor: Citrus, Piney, Subtle Roast
Kolsch-Style Wheat
Remember our former summer seasonal Firefly Kolsch? We took inspiration from this old favorite and brewed a version with wheat as our base malt and fermented it out with our McMenamins yeast strain. It has that kolsch pizzazz with a wheat’s round bodied maltiness—a great combination.
Color: Straw Body: Med
Bitterness: Low/Med Flavor: Wheat, Earthy/Floral Hops
North Umpqua Amber
A beer inspired by the beauty of a river and the salmon swimming in it, North Umpqua Amber is malt-forward brew with caramel and roast notes balanced by Perle hops.
Color: Amber Body: Med/Light
Bitterness: Low Flavor: Caramel, Roast, Subtle Hop
Purple Haze (Boysenberry Ale)
As a beer named after the most recognizable of Jimi Hendrix tunes, it is interesting to note that the song’s colorful imagery came to Jimi in a dream. “I dream a lot and I put a lot of my dreams down as songs” he stated in a 1969 interview. Sixteen years later, McMenamins dared to dream and became the first brewery in the U.S.A. to legally use fruit in the creation of ales. While many other breweries have followed suit, we still craft our flagship fruit ales exactly as we first did: Light, crisp and refreshingly fruity. Purple Haze, a favorite and oft requested recipe for over 20 years now, is brewed using locally malted Great Western 2- row and 42 pounds of pureed Oregon boysenberries in every batch. The result is a flavorful and refreshing lavender tinged beverage, a sight sure to raise an eyebrow with a taste sure to lift a tired spirit. Taste a dream. Kiss the sky. And raise a toast to the master of the ‘68 Stratocaster.
Old Faithful Steam Beer
Old Faithful is the name..steam beer is the game. Using a lager yeast while fermenting at ale temperatures is like having two beers in one. Steam beer not only provides the clarity and crispness of a lager but also includes the body and flavor typical of an ale.
Color: Pale Body: Med/Light
Bitterness: Low Flavor: Citrus, Green, Lagery
Rounders Gold
A straight-up golden ale, Rounders Gold is the perfect balance of malt and hops. ?
Color: Gold Body: Light
Bitterness: Med Flavor: Citrus, Earth, Malt
Ground Bear IPA
Another classic Roadhouse IPA: big hop flavor and aroma, subtle malt complexity, and a crisp finish that begs another sip. Enjoy!
Color: Pale Body: Med
Bitterness: High Flavor: Citrus, Floral, Subtle Malt
