RAINIER BEER Advertising Plaque from approximately 1920 which is a massive round metal 24" Dia. PLAQUE of a Classic MT. RAINIER at Sunset with very faded RAINIER BEER advertising at the bottom. Back of plaque has a metal strip for hanging with a wire. The Rainier Beer advertising is very faded and can hardly be read, but it is there. This is a rare and truly large Rainier Beer Tray or Plaque. Wonderful Mt. Rainier at sunset like a classic Norman Edson photo. Shipping in the US via priority mail for $25.00. Thanks for looking. Following is from the history of Rainier Beer from Wikipedia. Rainier Brewing Company (1884 - 1999) was a Seattle, Washington, company that brewed Rainier Beer, a popular brand in the Pacific Northwest. Although Rainier was founded in 1884, the Seattle site had been brewing beer since 1878. While the beer enjoys near iconic status, it is no longer brewed in Seattle, nor is the company owned locally. In the late 1990s, the company was sold to Stroh's, then to Pabst, though Miller contract brews most of Pabst's beers. The brewery was closed by Pabst in 1999 and sold. Although beer is no longer brewed there, the brewery itself is still a fixture in the south end of town, adjacent to I-5 just north of the Spokane Street Viaduct. The plant is now used by Tully's Coffee to roast beans. The trademark red neon R that sat atop the building has been replaced with a green T for the new occupant. The neon R is now in the collection of Seattle's Museum of History and Industry. When Seattle TV and radio stations provide traffic reports for I-5, the stretch of freeway there is known as "The Brewery," as in "traffic is heavy at the Brewery."
