I have a lot of friends who are beer snobs, but a bear who's a beer snob?
Anyone who spent time in the Pacific Northwest back in the '80's remembers the great commercials that Rainier used to have. One would have to wonder how long it would have taken them to turn this little story into a marketing campaign.
Unfortunately, Rainier Beer isn't what it used to be. Rainier was bought by Pabst back in 1999 and the brewery was closed. Rainier is now bottled at the old Olympia Brewery. There are so many fans of the old Rainier that it spawned Remember Rainier, a website dedicated to preserving the old Rainier mystique.
As a bit of trivia, the old Rainier Brewery is now the headquarters for Tully's Coffee.
