catbirdseat Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Do any of you know what Irwindale looks like? I used to work there. It's the armpit of the San Gabriel Valley. About the only good thing you can say about it is that it is near West Covina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

assmonkey Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 The new owners of the Rainier label are trying to capitalize on the same sentiment that is currently driving PBR sales. The above post describes the lame-ass fake "wayne's world"-like cable access 30-minute long informercial used to generate interest in Rainier beer. Here's their shitty corporate website: http://www.rememberrainier.com/ The deli at RMI has a killer poster with one of the Whittaker brothers holding a can of Rainier with the mountain in the background of the photo. It's a sweet poster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
