Thursday’s ad is for “Rainier 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 is from a time when six-packs had not yet become the standard they are today, when companies were still experimenting with what was the right number of cans or bottles for a multi-pack, and Rainier went with six because it was a “handy way to take it home.”
