As an old Pacific Northwest Navy Hand, it does warm my heart.
We had two flavours back in those halcyon days......................Olympia and Rainier....................
Both left us in recent years. I was working my ballast train along the Columbia Gorge in Washington State a few years ago, staying in The Dalles, Oregon. The Fred Meyer had the Rainier. Olympia was shut down by the parent Miller/Coors in 2003. The Rainier was brewed in Irwindale, California.................let that sink in.............................Irwindale, California................
But enough ranting.............................
The Olympia Brewery may come back to life......................................

I may have to find an excuse to head north to see some "old friends!"
Developers have announced ambitious plans to bring craft brewing, restaurants, retail and more to the old Olympia Brewery in Tumwater. (Dana Commercial) |
