Know when the first bottle of Olympia Beer was filled? Back on 1 October 1896, and it was in Tumwater, Washington, in that shadow of Mount Rainier, so it was called Rainier Beer. Remember how the company bragged that they used artesian water?
What you and I might remember most about Olympia Beer were the Running of the Rainiers commericals……… I can still see those brown-legged beer bottles running along…….
Check out the YouTube videos and indulge yourself in a big of true Washington nostalgia.
i understood Olympia Brewing made Olympia Beer, fondly called Oly.
Rainier Beer was made and bottled by Rainier Brewery in Seattle WA and is still produced today. That’s the running Rainier Beers. not Oly
