Rainier is an American brand. But it does show the
boozed bruin is not your average beer.

snipped snarky Rainer jokes. Nobody who doesn't live in the NW would
get them anyhow.

I stand corrected -- looks like a Pabst product.

Although a Canadian beer could still be called American. (I used to have
a teacher from Mexico that was adamant "America" and "U.S.A." were not
synonymous. He maintained that people from Sonora, Mexico were just as
American as people from Arizona, U.S.A.)

Well, in the '70s and '80s the regional breweries got bought up by the
majors and then passed around. That's why Weinhard's is brewed in the
wrong state now, and also it makes it hard to remember who's brewing
what.

Of course they are, but don't they usually call themselves after
either their country (Mexico) or their cultural roots (Toltec, Aztec,
Mayan, ...)? Meanwhile, we can't call ourselves "Unitedians" -- that
would conflict with various other United countries also in this
hemisphere, and "Statesian" has the same objection. I suppose we
could make a pitch for "oo-see-ans".

Right back'atcha:

And the reason it's called what it is:

Located in San Francisco, CA they serve Spanish Tapas and have a pool
table upstairs.

Main complaint is the noise factor, the cool interior doesn't muffle
the patrons so much as it seems to amplify the other conversations.

Good food, decent beer, convenient location to the Moscone Convention
Center, Sony Metrion, and Downtown.

Enjoy,
