Its the'We&te
that gives Olympia Constant Purity
Centuries of brewing experience has
shown that certain waters have a more
solvent quality than others to extract
the most desirable hidden flavors from the
hops and grains, and impart them to the
beer. The subterranean spring water of the
Olympia Brewing Company at Tumwatcr,
(Olympia) is an example of how a faultless
brewing water can produce an outstanding
beer such as Olympia-mild, clean-tasting,
refreshing, and with a rare flavor that is
different and exceptionally good.
