I drank a lot of Rainier Ale in college in the 1980s. 6% alcohol, and cheaper than Bud.
Lived 8 years in Seattle, had my fair share of Rainier!
Ranier used to be available everywhere in Southern California. I recall the blues singer Pearl Bailey praising it in radio commercials in the mid-sixties. But in the 1990s, it started to become scarce, and it disappeared for good at the beginning of this century.
