Great Moments In Commercial History: Rainier Beer

By Meg Marco on September 14, 2007 6:10 PM 1758 views
Reader Ian nominates these Rainier Beer commercials because they bring together "two great things that go great together: drinkin' beer and ridin' motorcycles," because the Budweiser frogs were a ripoff, and because Rainier was "bizarre before bizarre became de rigueur."

We actually like these ads. Maybe we should change the tag to "Goodvertising." Nah.

If you'd like to nominate a commercial for our weekly series "Great Moments In Commercial History" send us an email at tips [at] consumerist [dot] com. Be sure to put "Great Moments In Commercial History" in the subject. To see other commercials that have been featured in the series, click here.

The same Rainer beer that is brewed in California by Pabst.

Strange, you don't see too many beer commercials today with people driving around in cars and on motorcycles. Darn you M.A.D.D!

@bedofnails: As someone who walks past the old brewery every day, it most definitely used to be brewed in Seattle.
Tragedy now that it's not. Pure TRAGEDY.

Any Oregonians around? I NEED a copy of the Lane Transit Bus "Take Another Ride on the LTD" song. It definitely would win a Gold Medal in this category.
