Now owned by Pabst, the company started in Tumwater in 1896 by Leopold Friederich Schmidt, a German immigrant. The affordable lager grew into a popular regional name during the 20th century.
The beer was brewed in Tumwater until 2003, when production moved to California under Pabst.
Been dead a long time
Went to school with the grandkids. The original Schmidt house is by Tumwater Falls Park between the old and new brewery
Teachers had summer jobs there. Union.
Good times -
Sadly, Oly and Rainier stopped being Seattle beer a long time ago. We’re a hipster fag micro beer town now. All the tuff logging camp liberal brands are ded.

My brother got married there about 5 years ago. I loved the nostalgia of it.
Driving by the old brewery that looked like a bombed-out WWII warehouse. Kind of eerie.

Oly was always shit beer. We drank Rainier up around Camp Govey and Camp Grisdale.
Why? The wild Rainiers, R-bo, and the Raaaaaaaaaineeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr motorcycle.
The brewery has been closed for years anyway. Now it a dump where the bums seek shelter. It was always cool to take out-of-town guests for the tour there, though. They seemed to think it was pretty cool.
My tap water in Olympia is cold as fuck and tastes awesome. It IS the water. -
On the three hot days a year we rode our bikes to the brewery for a tour. The chill room

Oly sold the couch on taste years ago.

The best part about visiting friends in that shithole called Pullman was Oly Dark on tap.

So Oly insiders, who wants to spill the beans on the brand’s original demise?
