Rainier Brewing Company (1878–1999) was a
Seattle, Washington, company that brewed Rainier Beer, a popular brand in the
Pacific Northwest of the United States. Although Rainier was founded in 1884, the Seattle site had been brewing beer since 1878. The
beer 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 Brewing Company, though
Miller contract brews most of Pabst's beers. The
brewery was closed by Pabst in 1999 and sold.
