    Happy R Day! Per Sean McKillop, Brand Director for Rainier, in a recent Forbes article: “R Day is one of the most fun, iconic beer events there is, and anyone in the greater Pacific Northwest is welcome to join us. “Rainier is pretty special in that in 1999, we were selling 1.2 million cases per year, and in 2023, we had our best year yet, which is 250 percent-plus growth since Pabst purchased it in 1999. Rainier defies the odds every year, and we’re still plus 2.5 percent over last year, meaning we’re having our best year ever.” Learn more about Rainier Beer and R Day in Forbes’ article: https://bit.ly/3TCvk9B
