Olympia ia actually brewed by Miller, although Pabst owns the label.

I did a little googling and interesting enough, Miller Brewing merged with South African Breweries and is now called SABMiller. SABMiller is actually headquartered in London, England. Philip Morris Companies, Inc changed its name to Altria Group, Inc (to hide its tobacco stigma) and owns 36% interest in SABMiller.

Pabst Brewing Company, headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, specializes in brewing brands that are no longer brewed by the original brewers. Olympia was first brewed by the Olympia Brewing Company in Tumwater, Washington. Pabst took over production, using the original formula, in 1983. It is characterized by low bitterness, light malt flavor, and moderate alcohol. Its light flavor is the result of the us of rice and corn with the barley malt. Their Olympia beer product, classified as an American Macro Lager took the silver medal in the 2005 Great American Beer Festival.

Pabst owns no brewery; instead, it pays other brewers, such as SABMiller and Lion Brewery, to brew the beers, while it retains ownership of the brands (Pabst Blue Ribbon, Pearl, Lone Star, Old Milwaukee, Old Style, Schlitz, and Colt 45) and markets the products. The Pabst Brewing Company is owned by the Kalmanovitz Charitable Trust.
