Beer In Ads #3745: Rainier, The Name’s The Same But What A Difference

June 2, 2021 By Jay Brooks

Wednesday’s ad is for “Rainier Beer,” from probably shortly after Prohibition was repealed. This poster was made for the Seattle Brewing & Malting Co., who made Rainier Beer, and was later known as the Rainier Brewing Company of Seattle, Washington. This one features a watercolor painting of Rainier beer on a silver tray. The ad was reintroducing the beer to the California market, presumably after having been out of the area for some time, at least 37 years.
