    What a great surprise. I was one of the Rainier bottles in the "Rainier is Beerish on America." (the first ad on the trailer). It was a memorable day and I'm delighted to know the campaign literally has made history. Three friends from West Seattle High School joined me in the production. Teenagers, all of us. Was it wrong of us to grab a couple cases on our way off the movie set? Security was fairly lax. We still all get together.
  • My late husband and I would pack up the old station wagon, buy some Rainier Beers and camp out under the stars near Spirit lake at Mount Saint Helens. My husband would give me a version of his own “eruption”, and boy was there a hell of a mudslide after.

    I was stationed in Seattle when I was in the USCG 79 - 81. Rainier was the undisputed beer of choice. Their commercials were gold. I loved Mickey Rooney.

    I loved on whidbey island from 76 to 81 as a 5-10 yr old and the only piece of television I can remember from that time is the Rainier beer motorcycle add.

    Funded $200! Part of our local history that we cannot lose. Who else remembers late night study sessions drinking the Green Death? (Rainier Ale)

    R-Bo and the "Get it yourself, bub!!" woman!
  • "I would go to the show if they would make it into a full-length movie!" -My wife
  • I cant wait to see the final product. Especially since I was in the square dance commercial. 😀
  • I was part way through the trailer (documentary trailer, not trailer house) and I noticed I had a huge smile on my face! Need volunteers? I would be thrilled to work on the docementary, AND This needs to have a short TV commercial of people coming out of the theater being interviewed about their thoughts ("I thought it was very refreshing" , "Effervescent!").

    Fantastic, thanks for the memories. Could there be more in the making? . . . Rainier beer, my nectar of choice.
  • Find the Rainier Ale commercial of the cooking show where the very calm gentleman suddenly smashes his fist through the fridge door while saying..... " and, Rainier Ale is Beyond macho" !
  • NOW!!!!!! The Alice in Chains video for the song Rainier Fog makes sense to me!!!!!!!
