Title: Wild Rainier
Post by: NOCK NOCK on June 16, 2018, 07:38:56 PM: Found this while out placing T cams today. Quite a ways off a road and never opened. Looks to be a wild rainier maybe. :chuckle:

I have $5 that says you won't drink the whole bottle.

I've found that beer doesn't age well...

Post by: Duckslayer89 on June 16, 2018, 08:17:33 PM: I wonder if aging it would make it super high alcohol content. Probably whiskey beer by now. Take a sip!

No doubt it’s a wild one! Quite the find. Are you doing a euro or full neck mount?

Post by: Jpmiller on June 17, 2018, 06:13:26 PM: After trying to drink one that got lost in the fridge for six months no way I'd drink it.

But mine was a can so on second thought your probably good :tup:

Post by: Katmai Guy on June 20, 2018, 08:06:04 AM: What era is that short neck? My old man drank Rainier exclusively ever since I've been alive and I've never seen those bottles. OLD

Post by: LongBomb on June 20, 2018, 08:19:09 AM: 1940-50 i believe

Post by: bigmacc on June 20, 2018, 12:37:11 PM: Really neat find, I,m guessing 1950,s :dunno:. In all my years of wandering the Methow I have found a lot of old cans and bottles but never a Rainier bottle, I have found Rainier cans but no bottles. About 20 years ago I came across a half buried, half rusted out old lunch box that had 2 unopened Lucky Lager bottles, an old fork and spoon and salt and pepper shakers but no sandwich :bash: :chuckle:, my dad said the whole set up looked to be from the 50,s. We were about 5 miles from any kind of road and the weird thing is about 4 years later my partner found an old rusted Colt Revolver that he took in and had it cleaned up, it ended up being from the early 1900,s I believe, he found it about 10 feet from where I found the lunch box.

Post by: NOCK NOCK on June 20, 2018, 12:43:27 PM: I was wondering how old it was. I'm 53, and only remember the longer neck ones. Speaking of that, does anyone remember that after drinking one you could fill the empty half full with water and with an open hand, palm slap the top of the bottle and make a perfect circle of the glass break off the bottom?

At this point, you probably couldn't tell if it was 30 year old pee or 30 year old Vitamin R.

Yep :tup:

Post by: Twispriver on June 20, 2018, 02:52:52 PM: The bottles with the longer necks were sold in stores and the stubbys were sold exclusively in taverns. I know that because my dad used to buy his weekend case of beer after work on Friday night at the Cozy Tavern on Hewitt Ave in Everett. He was still getting those stubby bottles at least through the mix 80s. My guess is that bottle was possibly one out of a case of beer purchased at a tavern.
