Post-Prohibition relaunchįollowing the repeal of the Prohibition, the brewery was purchased by Lethbridge, Alberta brewers Fritz and Emil Sick, who then repurchased the Rainier brand and began brewing Rainier in 1935. The company survived prohibition by producing a variety of different nonalcoholic products. During this time they opened a brewery in San Francisco where they brewed Rainier beer until 1920 when the 18th amendment was ratified. Kopp and Hemrich produced Rainier beer in Washington until 1916, when the state of Washington enacted its own prohibition, 4 years before the 18th amendment enacted the nationwide prohibition. In 1888, Rabbeson sold his brewery, along with the Rainier brand, to Kopp and Hemrich. Concurrently, John Kopp and Andrew Hemrich founded Seattle Brewing and Malting in 1883. They launched Rainier beer in 1878 and would produce and distribute Rainier for the next decade. In 1872, Rabbeson renamed his brewery Seattle Brewery. Rabbeson opened Washington Brewery, which was Seattle’s first commercial brewing company. The original brewery dates all the way back to 1854 when A.B. In Canada, it is brewed and distributed by Sleeman Breweries as Rainier Lager. The brand is currently owned and operated by Pabst Brewing Company. The green "T" was removed on Septemby Tully's, and a red neon replica "R", built by Western Neon, returned to the top of the brewery on October 24, 2013. The neon "R" is now on display at Seattle's Museum of History and Industry which was refurbished by local Seattle sign company Western Neon. The trademark red neon "R" that sat atop the building was replaced with a green "T" built by Western Neon, when Tully's was using the plant to roast coffee. The plant is also home to the Tully's Coffee headquarters, Bartholomew Winery, Red Soul Motorcycle Fabrications, as well as artist lofts, band practice spaces, and a recording studio. The brewery was closed by Pabst in 1999 and sold.The brewery itself is a well-known fixture in the south end of town, adjacent to I-5 just north of the Spokane Street Viaduct. 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 beer is no longer brewed in Seattle, nor is the company owned locally. Although Rainier was founded in 1884, the Seattle site had been brewing beer since 1878. 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.
