Rainier Beer

Rainier Beer is a classic American Adjunct Lager with a brewing history dating back to the late 1800s in the Pacific Northwest. Known for its approachable, no-frills character, it offers a refreshing experience at a modest 4.6% ABV, just 134 calories, and around 11 g of carbohydrates per 12 oz (355 ml) serving. Its light body and crisp profile make it a go-to choice for those seeking easy drinkability without a heavy nutritional load.

Flavor & Aroma
Rainier pours a pale golden color with lively carbonation and a light, fast-dissipating white head. The aroma is clean and subtle, featuring light grain notes, faint corn sweetness, and a gentle hint of floral hop. On the palate, it delivers mild malt sweetness up front, minimal hop bitterness (10 IBU), and a super-clean, dry finish. The result is a smooth, refreshing beer designed for casual sipping and all-day sessions.
