| Emerald City Ale and Post Ale Pale were two beers introduced in November of 1992 by the Rainier Brewing Co. The beers were Rainier’s and parent company, G. Heilman’s attempt to gain traction in the growing craft brewing market and were deceivingly disguised as being brewed by Emerald City Brewing Co without any mention of Rainier or G Heilman on the product. Recipes for the two beers were created by Glen Corson who at the time was the Senior Assistant Brew master for Rainier. Sales never met expectations and the two beers along with the “Emerald City Brewing Co” name were discontinued a few years later. |

For many years, the Seattle Brewing & Malting Co shipped large casks or Rainier beer to bottlers in California and owned sizable market share there. After Washington's state wide prohibition in 1916, the brewery would leave Seattle and move to San Francisco in hopes that prohibition would never spread to California.
