Washington Olympia Brewery - then and now

This popped up on my drone forum. Thought somebody here might find interest. Videos like this that show the decay and entropy of our endeavors are depressing, for sure.

I didn't shed any tears over the demise of the Olympia Brewery. Their beer was terrible. In college, after all the kegs kicked at a party, it seemed like whoever went on a beer run (to keep things going) always brought back bottled Olympia. I always wanted to spit out the first swig from a bottle of Oly. Don't know why it tasted so awful after drinking draft all night.

Brew on

Oly was all grandpa drank. We always had to have some in the fridge when he visited. We preferred Rainier.

Here's a link to a short video of Oly beer history.

What are the artesiens doing now? Did they get new jobs at other breweries or did they just fall through the cracks?

PRECISELY - A very interesting and underappreciated minority if there ever was one!

And now Rainier is brewed in Irwindale, California.
