Are you a fan of our Coffee Liqueur, that silky, creamy delicious spirit that is a handcrafted collaboration between McMenamins Coffee Roasters and the Edgefield Distillery? It is wonderful on the rocks or mixed with vodka or added to coffee, to name a few ideas.
Your life is about to change. In a really good way. As of late January 2010, we began offering a brand-new Coffee Liqueur blend, one that contains a full 100 percent more coffee! Our Coffee Roaster Jen Apodaca was instrumental in selecting just the right type of coffee - she chose Ethiopian Sidamo, a bean with tasting notes of sweet milk caramel that is also a certified fair-trade organic coffee. While our first spirit blend used 35 pounds of coffee, this new version ups the ante with a full 70 pounds of coffee in the batch! Yowza.
So, what's it taste like? Rich. Sinful. Delicious. Or, as one of our distillers James Whelan puts it, like "a chocolate brownie."
And what's not to like about that? Order cocktail made with our delicious Coffee Liqueur at any McMenamins location or purchase a bottle at the Edgefield Distillery, Edgefield gift shop or the Old St. Francis School gift shop.
What’s the name of the Kennedy brewery? The Concordia Brewery, named for the surrounding neighborhood. Which beer is our best-selling ale? Hammerhead, of course. Have a pint or two today! How many McMenamins are there in the Seattle area? Three – Mill Creek, Six Arms and Queen Anne. “Give me a woman who truly loves beer and I will conquer the world.” – Kaiser Wilhelm II The Centzon-Totochtin (“Infinite Rabbits”) was an Aztec group that represented the ways humans are affected by intoxication. Does each McMenamins pub brew beer? Nope – only our brewpubs and breweries do. They supply our other spots. Give it up for St. Arnold, the patron saint of brewers! His miracle was a tankard of ale that never ran dry… Put him on the invite list. What was the very first McMenamins pub, opened by Mike and Brian McMenamin? The Barley Mill on SE Hawthorne in Portland. “We borrowed golf from Scotland as we borrowed whiskey. Not because it is Scottish, but because it is good.” -- Horace Hutchinson “Wine is bottled poetry.” -- Robert Louis Stevenson McMenamins has a full-time historian on staff. He collects stories, photos, anecdotes and more about McMenamins spots, past and present. Queen Elizabeth I, daughter of Henry VIII, was said to be able to drink any man under the table. You show ‘em, Betsy! At the Grand Lodge, the mosaics in the basement hallways were inspired by the work of Spanish artist Antonio Gaudi. “Wine is bottled poetry.” -- Robert Louis Stevenson

Absolutely fabulously decadent, I discovered it recently as I fell through the "rabbit hole" in Edgefield!
