Behold the Rain-beers, a herd of giant bottles with human legs galloping majestically across the Cascade foothills. This motif was part advertisement, part cinema — the brainchildren of Heckler Associates, a local ad agency that made Rainier Beer’s personality and brand into the stuff of Seattle legend. Today Rainier is no longer an entirely local product — it’s owned by Pabst and brewed in California — but go to any antique shop and you’re destined to find beer memorabilia sporting that red calligraphy “R” hearkening from the golden age of Rainier Beer. It was this mythologizing that drove director Isaac Olsen to make a full documentary film about the commercials and the small firm that put them on the national stage. Rainier: A Beery Odyssey is showing at SIFF Film Center this week through Thursday, March 13, and other Washington locations through April. Soundside host Libby Denkmann caught up with Olsen to hear more about his odyssey of making the film. Guests: Isaac Olsen, director of Rainier: A Beer Odyssey.

Rainier is center screen tonight at the Egyptian theater on Capitol Hill — not the mountain, but the Beer. It's the subject of the new documentary Rainier: A Beer Odyssey. The film is part oral history of Seattle in the 70s and 80s and part love letter to Vitamin R. Today on the show, Seattle Now producer Clare McGrane tells the story of how the documentary came to be, and helped save a piece of Washington history along the way.SIFF showings: https://www.siff.net/festival/rainier-a-beer-odysseyWe can only make Seattle Now because listeners support us.

The Grit & Grain Podcast hosts two-thirds of the team behind “Rainier – A Beer Odyssey,” the first major, independently produced, comprehensive documentary on the classic Rainier Beer television commercial produced in Seattle, Washington, from... The post Episode 16: Rainier – A Beer Odyssey appeared first on Grit & Grain Podcast.
The advertising of Rainier Beer spawned many cult classic commercials in the Northwest. Our guests got into the idea of documenting the ads after collecting Rainier Beer swag for their bar and asking the question where can we get the original film of the commercials? The Petersons describe the origin of the Rainier Room at the bar, after they filled it with all of the memorabilia they could find relating to Rainier Beer. The room has a TV running all of the ads on a loop, and quickly became a fan favorite. The team described the long adventure to locating the original film of the commercials. From cold calling people who might have been involved, to tracking down agencies, to the final fortuitous encounter with the Washington State Historical Society. Recorded on location and includes several audio clips from Rainier ads.

Jeff and Jeremy engage on whether or not "Mix" was singing about Rainier Beer, or Rainier Ave. on "Posse's on Broadway". Two solid arguments. What say you @theRealMix ?

This week, the ladies delve into the pyramid scheme, sex cult (yup, you read that right), NXIVM (nex-ee-um) whose leader--the supposed “self-help guru”Keith Raniere--is currently on trial for sex trafficking. Also, the ladies get a bit personal with their own experience in a cult like church.

HTBABD 46 - Rainier Beer by The lush life has it's twists and turns, let Matt James and Justin Freet show you How To Be A Better Drinker. It's cocktail culture from the inside.
Everywhere you turn, lazy Millennials are taking their parents to job interviews, watching their YouTubes, mainlining text messages like junkies, and using slang the rest of us don't understand. How could such a self-centered, good-for-nothing generation come into existence when their Baby Boomer grandparents and Gen-X parents are so damn flawless? Or...is that all bullshit? Could Millennials be doing well, all things considered, with what they're being handed? Could it be they are more likely to not care if a black guy is dating a white girl or -- GASP -- if two guys want to marry? Could it be that much of their negative press isn't wholly true; that maybe they write articles about themselves in defense of Gramps in a Crosby, Stills, and Nash t-shirt shaking his cane on his front lawn while his Nirvana-wearing T-shirt son (Bleach t-shirt, at that; you know, to prove they were fans before Nevermind, even though they weren't) throws Pabst Blue Ribbon cans of irony at a 24-year-old passer-by just wanting to pay off her student loans? Or...could it be something somewhere in between (but probably skewed toward bitter Boomers and jealous Gen-Xers just being grumpy before their time)? Step into your safe place and listen to this week's episode of Men in Gorilla Suits! * * * We cut right to it at the start and talk about how many Baby Boomers (and Gen Xers to a degree), say Millennials are lazy and financially irresponsible. But is there truth to that? After that we discuss our personal experiences -- good and bad -- with Millennials at work. We devote some time to the traits we believe Millennials have over those before them...and also where they may be a bit lacking than previous generations. But one thing is certain: Millennials are cowards compared to Baby Boomers and Gen-Xers, right? We destroy that bit of stupid before jumping to why we think Boomers and Gen-Xers have such an issue with Millennials. Some evidence points to Millennials not being as entrepreneurial as the generations before them. Find out if we think that's true and, if we do, why we think that might be. (And maybe point out that many Boomers and Gen-Xers don't quite get that ways of making money on one's own no longer relies solely on starting a traditional company.) Next, we get a bit specific, talking about our generation (Gen-X). Are we just jealous that Millennials got more attention and opportunities in their early 20s, while we were handed nothing much at all? (And, if so, doesn't that make us the whinier generation complaining about the generation we spawned?) You can probably guess by reading this far that we don't have issues with Millennials...you might even say we like them. But...would we want to be a Millennial -- or continue clutching our Dinosaur Jr. CDs and remain Gen-X? (Somewhere in a dark bar outside of Seattle, two 45-year olds are drinking Rainier Beer while arguing about who's better: Mudhoney or Tad! They leave when an old guy drinking a Busch shouts, "I'm sleeping with the ghost of Janis Joplin!" and poops his Depends.) As positive as we are about Millennials, we do wonder how they will react when Generation Z comes into their own and gets the limelight. We talk about that a bit before moving on to whether or not the so-called "Millennial [distracted] Mind" is real or not. (Hint: Christopher knows 70-year-olds who can't get through an in-person conversation without playing Words With Friends.) And we close it all out with this: will there be a day a Millennial in a Lorde t-shirt shakes her fist at a GenZer while shouting, "Get off my lawn, ya punk!" (i.e. that Millennials will one day become critical and bitter)? (If so, we'd still call that progress over sad old men getting riled up about things that really don't matter...) Be like an old person and leave a comment, 'cause we're afraid of the Snapchats and the Bemes.
