Melt Into a Dream

from The Red Shed Tapes: A McMenamins Podcast

We take you inside a little-known McMenamins tradition: the annual Barley Brew. On this day, a group of McMenamins folk follow in the footsteps of our first brewers from the '80s to craft a very special beer celebrating the birthday of our first pub, the Barley Mill. You'll hear about the people who make it happen, how it began, and how a touch of magic makes this beer like no other.
