Kennedy School & Anderson School
Come carry on a tradition – indoors! There's free trick-or-treating for the young and costumed from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. While kiddos weave through collecting loot, adults can collect their own handcrafted happy hour specials. At Kennedy School, the brewery is treating the adults to tastes of 2016 Whiskey Widow. Plus live music from The Coastline and live radio theater from Willamette Radio Workshop. | |  | New! Free Tours of Edgefield, Kennedy School
Tuesdays, Thursdays & Saturdays * Edgefield (Troutdale, Ore.)
Wednesdays & Fridays * Kennedy School (Portland, Ore.)
Ever wandered the hallways wondering what you're seeing or wanting to ask someone what it all meant? Well we have a new treat for you! Our long time McMenamins employee, Thursday, has started leading tours around the grounds, recalling history, expounding upon art, and weaving a multitude of stories that only a 34-year employee may know! Stop by the hotel front desk to sign up. Or if you see the "Pied Piper of McMenamins" leading a tour then jump on in an join the group. The more the merrier! | | Crowlers® Now at CPR
Cornelius Pass Roadhouse (Hillsboro, Ore.)
We've got a fun new offering in the Roadhouse: Crowlers® – not a growler, not a traditional can, but instead a 32-ounce vessel that we fill fresh from a tap of your choice and seal up to-go. It's easier than the growler you keep forgetting at home and it keeps beer fresher, longer. Come by to see what's on tap and grab that just-for-fun stamp in your McMenamins Passport as well. | | | December to Remember: Nine Crystal Concerts
Select dates, December 2-December 17
Crystal Ballroom (Portland, Ore.)
Plan now for a rockin' December with 94.7 FM's sweet lineup at the Crystal. The bad news is that several shows (including The Lumineers and Portugal. The Man) are sold out.

What About Bob
This week, we take a look at another of our small bars, those tiny watering holes that reflect our philosophy in which people meet and talk and share ideas and laughs and drinks and songs within very small confines. Bob would approve….

Formerly of Johnny and the Distractions, the singer-songwriter and guitarist romps, stomps, twangs and rages through tales of love, lust, trailer parks, truck stops, demons and dogs. Koonce introduces lap steel, humor and blues harp into a vintage live and loud production. The Gas Hogs perform with him. | | | | | With tight arrangements and fine harmonies, these veteran musicians keep the dance floor rocking. No need to be a Deadhead to get on this train … just climb on board to enjoy interpretations of Jerry Garcia and a song list that includes classics by Bob Dylan, The Beatles and Otis Redding.

Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout
For the first time in the 259-year history of Samuel Smith's Brewery, their traditionally brewed Oatmeal Stout has been shipped to the United States from England in kegs! It is brewed with well water and fermented in stone Yorkshire squares to create an almost opaque ale that is wonderfully silky and smooth. The oats perfectly balance the roasted barley found in this stout to make a highly drinkable, medium dry Stout. Try it on tap (while it lasts!), then take it to go in a Crowler or a bottle. | | | McMenamins Online Shop
