I tasted a phenomenal craft brew from McMenamins called Ruby Ale yesterday and was in love. However, I can't find anyplace to buy this stuff from!

Are there ANY reputable beer shops online? I Googled myself to death without finding a good online store...

I can't remember seeing any McMenamins outside of their pubs, but I haven't been to Oregon in ages.

Try giving them a shout, maybe they have a distributor.

Just shot them an email. Let's see what they say.

I was there a couple of weeks ago while in Portland. That is some good stuff. I think we went to about 4 local breweries.

the McM's are widely disliked in Oregon - supposedly the service in the pubs is awful and they are not easy to work for.

but they have some nice pubs.

Good beer in Oregon is easy to find

Not my experience at all. I found them to have great service, beer, and food at reasonable prices when I lived there.

Depends on which Mcmennamin's you visit. Last time I was there the service was probably the worst I have had at any pub or restaurant I have been to. As for the beers I find better else where around Portland.
