    I always heard older kids reference this commercial, but I never got to see it until now. When I heard the frogs croaking "Rainier" I immediately thought of the Budweiser frogs.

    This was part of the Best commercial ever made. It was only shown 3x and the FCC pulled it. Just as the m/c was rounding the corner it was hit head on by a Hamms Beer truck driven by the Hamms Bear. It simply said "Hamms"...lmao

    Weird -- I was listening to the David Paulides interview on Coast to Coast AM (Feb. 29, 2024), when he was discussing mysterious disappearances at and around Mount Rainier. An old, unbidden memory surfaced of this beer commercial featuring Mount Rainier -- I'd seen it in 1979 during a commercial break for "Saturday Night Live." Decided to look it up, and here it is: top search result! Nothing disappears forever.

    The ale was great. I first encountered it in a Safeway store in Kennewick, WA in about 1981-82. The first one didn't go down too well but I eventually developed a taste for it. I'm talking about the original ale, not the latter day stuff sold in the 1990s and later in 40s and jacked up to 8 percent.
