R-Day is a holy day for Rainier beer lovers. The refreshingly light Seattle-famous lager has been keeping our green city pleasantly buzzed since 1878, and it’s the preferred cheap beer amongst Seattleitesâor at least among my friends.
Originally brewed at the Seattle Brewing & Malting Company in Georgetown, the past hundred and forty-odd years have taken the beloved Rainier Beer production out of the city thanks to Pabstâs acquisition of the brand in the late â90s. Around 20 years ago, the iconic âRâ that stood on top of the Old Rainier Brewery in SoDo was taken and put in the Museum of History and Industry. But in 2013, a new âRâ was resurrected and placed again on top of the old SoDo brewery. Rainier celebrates that moment yearly with R-Day on the streets outside its original brewing spot in Georgetown.
The free event for anyone over the age of 21 has everything a Rainier Beer fanatic could ever dream ofâa Rainier fountain, Wild Rainiers, an outdoor “R-Cade,” Rainier paper crowns, limited edition merch, silly photo cutouts, food trucks, and, of course, Rainier beer and Rainier gin cocktails. You can crack a cold one and check out R-Dayâs stacked music line-up: psych rockers Allah Las, ’70s-inspired rock band Sheer Mag, local punk band Monsterwatch, and DJ Prometheus Brown of the Blue Scholars.
