I hear where your are coming from; Portland is without a doubt "BeerVana" and the McMenamins brothers are not at the top of the pile. In fact, if guy was a total beer snob and wanted to see the really cool esoteric breweries in town, there are tours that would be a great way for a new visitor to see the places that are off the beaten path. Some of them are damn hard to find, actually...
Having said that, I can honestly say that every single time I've taken out of town guests to Kennedy School...they've loved it. Grab a bite of dinner, have a pint or two, then head to the cigar lounge for a great smoke and a whiskey. Pretty tough to beat, and most "noobies" love it. More than once, folks have said "....damn, wish I'd have stayed here.!.."
...YMMV, etc.
