This film was produced by Pacific Communications in the early 80s. The narrator is me, Jim Jenner, and this was part of a video system we built for the brewery. It was a really important job for us because we were a small, start-up Tumwater company and we beat out a Hollywood film company for the project. The system originally used three-quarter inch video players and was primarily shown to visitors in a small theater next to the tap room on the weekend when the bottle and can lines were not operating. Not sure who posted this but it sure brings back memories. Some of the folks who worked on this film were myself, Cliff Cowling, Jack Hoffman, James Moore, Steve Winniger and intern Peter Speek.
I will be so happy when the Olympia Brewery reopens. We have Olympia Beer here in Olympia, but, it now comes from Pabst Brewing Company in California. I was too young to taste it before the Olympia Brewery closed in 2003, but, my father says it doesn't taste as good as it used to. There's just nothing like beer brewed with artesian river water. 😁
I remember this well. My dad was running the labeler for this shoot. They covered him with makeup, shot the footage, and then cut all but his hand. (They said his shirt was open too far). Been a family joke ever since. Sadly, my dad passed away in December 2016, age 92. He was so proud to have worked at Olympia for 30 years.
We have olympia in canada, best taste for the money. Much better than lucky lager (from vancouver... yikes!) and i enjoy more than pbr. also my username is a total coincedence lmao
