Video – the history of the Rainier R

submit to reddit

The Museum of History and Industry (MOHAI) put together a video about the history of the big, red R, including a bit of history about Rainier Brewing. Although today’s craft beer aficionados may not feel much affiliation with the brand, Rainier was once the largest brewery west of the Mississippi, claimed to be the 6th largest brewery in the world, and is indelibly linked to Seattle’s brewing history.

Check out the video.
