how i know this about the MGD brands that were at one time brewed in the PNW. after MGD purchased the rights to Henry W. Raineer and Olympia breweries. they began shuting the HenryW's brewery and of course the Raineer brewery down. MGD only kept Olympia brewery in operation. keep in mind that not a drop of Miller beer brands was ever brewed there. it became a contract brewery only. meaning it would produce other beer brands from other breweries. like all the St.Des and the other high gravity swill brands you see. they also did stuff like the alcho-pops that was popular 10 years back.
It remained a Union brewery though. so many workers from Henry's brewery needed to transfer up to Olympia to finish thier Union time. after several of them could finally leave with thier Union pensions intact, they found thier way to BridgePort brewery. they all share stories of working on the "econoline". meaning one tank would produce ALL the brands. meaning only the "brands" of cans or bottle lables would change throughout the day. i was actually shown a production sheet of this, so it's very true.
not sure where the brands come from now, maybe cali. now the the Olympia brewery has been shut down.
breweries all over the world are like properties on a monopoly board. even BridgePort brewery is owned by a company called Gambrinus Corp. based out of san antonio texas. they own the Shiner Bock brewery and several others. they also own the Trumer Pilsner brewery in frisco. so breweries are a wealthy man's toys of sorts.
