Famous, waters make
famous beers
For centuries, certain localities in
Europe have been famous for their
exceptional beers. Each of those
places has enjoyed the advantage of a
faultless type of rare brewing water.
A similar pure brewing
water was discovered near
Olympia, Washington in
1895 and, on the site
of these artesian wells,
America’s original light
table beer was brewed and
soon became famous for
its distinctive character
and refreshing flavor.
