Beer In Ads #3799: Everybody’s Saying “I’ll Take Rainier”

July 27, 2021 By Jay Brooks

Tuesday’s ad is for “Rainier Extra Pale Beer,” from the 1950s. This ad 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 claims “Everybody’s saying ‘I’ll take Rainier.” But to 1950s Rainier, that means five smiling white people, which, while understandable for the times, is still a little disappointing to modern eyes.
